John Winkler, 30, rushed out of an apartment behind another victim who was bleeding profusely from the neck and covered in blood, when deputies fired on both men, according to a sheriff’s news release.
The deputy-involved shooting occurred after a report of a “assault with a deadly weapon, man with a knife” at an apartment complex in the 900 block of Palm Avenue, a call that came in about 9:30 p.m. Monday, the news release stated.
When deputies got to the apartment, Winkler came running out, “lunging at the back” of another man also fleeing, the release said.
“Both ran directly at the deputies,” the release said. “Believing Winkler was the assailant and the assault was ongoing and he would attack the entry team; three deputies fired their duty weapons at him.”
Both men were hit by gunfire.

This was the Tosh.0 producer?
That’s what I read in the article. He was associated with Tosh.O. Not that I know what that is!
The one positive to this story is that all the deputies went home safely to their families.
I bet it was the running that scared Americas finest.
The police were obviously threatened.
And there is only one side of this story of this tale that will be told...
A fairly raunchy show on comedy central that looks at/makes fun of internet videos, etc.
But the the deputies get home safe? After all, that is the most important thing. /spit
PS Never run towards a LEO when you need help. Militarized LEOs see that as aggression and will kill you. No /sarc
Will the pink mafia be up in arms about this? Hmmm....
Where was the dog in all of this?
Unless you are suicidal or have a family member you want to get rid of, never, never, never call the police and get them involved.
No dog. If they had a dog, they’d still be alive.
