Deputy Shot
18-year-old with HD shot by deputies.
It sounds like the deputies handled this situation with great restraint:
Barron walked away from officers as they instructed him to drop his weapons, Garcia said. The man told the deputies to "go ahead and shoot me, go ahead and kill me," Garcia said.The father told deputies that the gun his son was holding was a pellet gun, but Garcia said deputies couldn't be sure because "to look at it, it doesn't look like a pellet gun."
At some point, Barron turned and fired the pellet gun, striking one deputy in the neck, according to officials. Still the deputies didn't fire their weapons.
Deputies say it wasn't until Barron lunged at them holding the knife that they shot him.
