An unwanted man was reported at a home. Vincent Palma, who was in the driveway, charged at a deputy after failing to obey commands to stop. The deputy shocked Palma with his Taser. As the deputy radioed for assistance, police say he fired warning shots into the ground. The deputy then used his baton "with no effect" before shooting and killing Palma.
