Michael Eugene McClure

Deadly force

A deputy had been sent to investigate reports of a man blocking traffic and acting strangely. When he arrived, he found McClure on the side of the road and pulled over to talk to him. When Deputy John Delgado left his patrol car, McClure pulled out a 10-inch-long knife and threatened the deputy. A witness later told deputies Delgado pulled out his gun and repeatedly told McClure to drop the knife and back away. McClure continued to advance and Delgado fired when McClure got to within arm's reach.
