Deputies were called to a domestic disturbance at a residence and when they arrived, they spoke with Ronald Dale McLemore's girlfriend. They then made contact with McLemore at the front door of the home, where he was holding a bat in one hand, and his other hand was concealed. Deputies ordered McLemore to show his concealed hand, and he refused. He then crossed the threshold of the door and came toward deputies. They reportedly saw a knife in McLemore's concealed hand and shot and killed him.
