A man who allegedly barricaded himself inside a San Jacinto residence with a 12-year-old child and swung a machete at sheriff's deputies was shot and killed by law enforcement personnel, authorities said Tuesday.
Deputies responded to the 800 block of Minor Street for a domestic dispute at 12:56 p.m., according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.
The suspect allegedly barricaded himself and the juvenile inside the residence, and when deputies attempted to rescue the child, the suspect hit the deputy in the head with a wooden object, causing a minor injury, then swung the machete at another deputy, authorities said. The suspect was taken to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead. One deputy was treated on the scene for his injuries and the other deputy was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The deputies, who are not being identified at this time, will both be placed on paid administrative leave according to department policy.
