A South Carolina suspect who barricaded himself in a home was shot dead by at least one deputy after he repeatedly stabbed a police K9, according to authorities.
Holcomb was declared dead on the scene.
"It was very unexpected that something like this would occur, and there are just so many cops," neighbor Julia Feydak told WSPA. "It’s quite scary but you know, whatever happens, the cops know what they’re doing."The K9’s harness protected the dog from any puncture wounds and the pup is expected to recover, according to the sheriff’s office. An official with the sheriff's office told Fox News Digital that the injured K9's name is Astro.
"I was thinking there maybe was a car accident, because of the weather. But, I mean, so many, so many cars, so many policemen here. So, it looks like something more than just a regular accident," said Viktor Altuhov.
