Deputies kill man accused of cutting deputy with 'massive' machete

Two Sarasota County Sheriff's Office deputies shot and killed a man accused of using a "massive" machete to cut another deputy during an apparent burglary. Four deputies who were in the area of Richardson Way and Meldon Circle responded just before 9:30 a.m. Thursday to a 911 call on a report of an armed break-in, agency spokesperson Kaitlyn Perez said during a news conference. A man was sleeping in a small apartment home on a larger property when he woke up to the sound of someone who had entered and was sharpening a machete with a baseball bat, said Perez, who added that the "massive" weapon was about the size of her forearm.
