Local media outlets reported the employee is a teller who was taken to a hospital for non-life threatening injuries. Police did not identify the victim.
Police spotted Fountain's car and pursued her. After she refused to pull over, police managed to stop her car.
As officers approached the car, Fountain continued not to comply with their commands. Although an officer used a Taser gun on the suspect, it did not work.
According to police, Fountain quickly got out of the car. Holding a weapon, she lunged at one of the officers. Local media reported the weapon was a knife. One of the officers shot Fountain who fell to the street.
The officers repeatedly commanded Fountain to drop her weapon before she was shot, according to local media reports.
Fountain was transported to a hospital with a minor injury, but it was unknown whether the injury resulted from the officer's bullet, police reported.
Fountain is facing one count of malicious wounding and one count of felony assault on a police officer. Upon release from the hospital, custody of Fountain will be turned over to the Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office, police said.
Navy FCU did not respond to CU Times email and phone request for comment Monday.
