April 20, 2005. 8th Ave South just east of Highway 507. The victim was carrying a very large knife and was swinging it at oncoming traffic. A deputy stopped to talk to the man who failed to put the knife down and approached the deputy who shot twice. Close enough to be spattered by blood. Central Pierce Fire and Rescue responded but were unable to revive the male who was pronounced dead at the scene. The Washington State Patrol assisted the Pierce County Sheriff.
