King County Sheriff's Office deputies were called to a home following a report that a man armed with a knife had attacked someone at the home. The apparent victim fired a warning shot at his assailant before retreating into his house. Deputies arrived to find the man still armed with a knife, police said. One deputy fatally shot the man after two shots from a Taser stun gun failed to bring him down. It turned out to be a pen.
