John Young

How they died

Deadly force

Deputies responded to a call about a murder in an apartment complex. When deputies arrived at the apartment, John Young "opened the door holding a meat cleaver and another cutting instrument." He was allegedly threatening to kill himself and officers. The deputies reported that he refused orders to drop the weapons, and he was shot and killed when he threw the meat cleaver at the officers.
