Deputies were forced to use possibly lethal force to take down the armed man after he threatened to kill a woman in the front yard of a Pedro, Ohio, home.
According to the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office, they responded to a call of a domestic violence incident and found an armed suspect outside a home threatening to kill a woman.
The deputy fired his weapon, taking down the suspect. They then called for an ambulance to take the man to a Huntington hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
