Deputies in Adams County responded to a domestic violence call Saturday night and shot dead a suspect who was holding a knife to a victim’s throat, the sheriff’s office said.
“The man was holding a knife to a woman’s neck,” Sherman said. Deputies gave commands for the suspect to drop the knife. He didn’t comply and pulled the woman’s hair, pressing the knife against her throat.
The deputies fired, striking the suspect who was pronounced dead at the scene, Sherman said. The woman was taken to a local hospital where she was treated and underwent surgery. Both deputies have been placed on leave, per office policy, pending the outcome of an ongoing police shooting investigation. The man who was shot dead will be identified by the Adams County Coroner’s Office.
