  "account": "A Bank of America employee was killed in a stabbing incident in Times Square on Monday afternoon, leaving another person injured. The attacker, Pamela Cisneros, was shot and killed by police after refusing to drop the knives she was wielding. Cisneros approached a 68-year-old man and stabbed him in the abdomen with two knives, before turning the attack on Erin Piacenti, a 32-year-old vice president of business selection and conflicts at the bank. Piacenti succumbed to her injuries at a nearby hospital. The police commissioner described the attack as random and unprovoked, while police revealed that Cisneros had no prior arrests but a documented history of mental illness. The NYPD Force Investigation Division is currently conducting an ongoing investigation into the incident.",
