Deputies got a call to assist a suicidal subject around 5:30 p.m. When officers arrived, they saw a bloody man through one of the home's windows. Officers entered the home, and the man allegedly went after one of the officers, who tasered him. A second officer tried to put handcuffs on the man, but the man lunged at that officer with a knife, and Kevin Vawter was shot and killed.
