Officers with the Chilton County Sheriff's Office and the Clanton Police Department were called to a home on a report of a domestic disturbance. When officers arrived, 43-year-old Michael Lamar Robinson was brandishing either a sword or a machete, Houston said. As officers told him to drop that weapon, he pulled a pistol from his right side. Police said Robinson raised the gun three-quarters of the way to full point when the officers shot and killed him.
