Two deputies responded to a disturbance call around 12:30 a.m. to a home in the Cookson area after someone called 911 saying to send police. Upon the deputy's arrival, Jericho Wynos, the caller, was standing in the yard brandishing a spear with two knives strapped to his body. One deputy tasered Wynos, but police said he pulled the barbs out and threw the spear, striking one deputy in the hands. Wynos advanced on the other deputy with a knife. The deputy shot and killed Wynos.
