The incident happened at the Bristol Police Department (BPD) just after 10:30pm on Thursday 5 October.
According to authorities, Suzanne Laprise, 51, fired at the window of the front desk, which was unoccupied at the time
None of the shots penetrated the bullet-resistant glass, officials said.
A statement from police said officers tried to negotiate with Laprise, but she fired more shots at them before being subdued by a stun gun.
She was arrested and taken to a hospital for evaluation.
“BPD wants to recognise the heroic actions of our officers last night,” a statement from the department, shared on social media website X, read.
“Despite a truly life-threatening incident, they responded with calm, poise, and professionalism, resulting in no loss of life or serious injury to anyone.”
