STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Sources say the woman shot by police Sunday afternoon has been involved in a two-day long string of odd and violent behavior.

Lori Gjenashaj was shot near the intersection of Highland and Howard Avenues after 12:45 p.m., after she allegedly brandished a weapon.

From an alleged attack on another parent at her children's Grasmere school to when police finally took her down -- here's how Sunday's police-involved shooting unfolded.

Police arrested Gjenashaj Saturday night around 11:18 p.m. after she allegedly choked another parent at an Academy of St. Dorothy school play.

A parent at the school told the Advance Gjenashaj called children at the school a sexually graphic name.

When a parent asked what she said, Gjenashaj allegedly lunged at her.

Sources said she was charged with misdemeanor assault, issued a desk appearance ticket, and discharged.

Gjenashaj went to her mother-in-law's home on Nugent Avenue in Midland Beach the next day around 12:15 p.m., police said.

Cops responded to a reported shooting, but police haven't confirmed that the shooting actually occurred, a spokesman for the NYPD said.

Gjenashaj then fled the scene in a black GMC Acadia with a man in the car.

From there, Gjenashaj went to a home on Sunnyside Terrace where she allegedly broke in using a brick around 12:45 p.m.

The home belongs to another family at her kids' school, a source told the Advance.

At the time of the break-in, the only person home was a 13-year-old boy, law enforcement sources said. Upon entry, Gjenashaj allegedly pulled the gun on the teenager, sources said.

She also allegedly fled that scene in the same black SUV.
