OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Lake County deputies responded to a call about a suicidal man with a meat cleaver. Police arrived and found an unconscious man who was injured and had lost a lot of blood. As police began handling him, he woke up and allegedly picked up a meat cleaver. Police shot and killed him. Since the man was seriously injured on the ground and fading in and out of consciousness, it is unclear why deputies could not step a few feet away from him if they were threatened and call for more competent medical and mental health help instead of killing him.
