About 5:25 a.m. the owners of a home called 911 and reported that a man they knew was on their property in violation of a court protective order. A deputy arrived at the home and confronted the man, who was found outside the home. When he refused to follow the deputy's commands, the deputy shocked him with a Taser, and the man pulled out a knife. The deputy shot and killed him.
