A deputy with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office was filmed punching out a window and crawling through the glass to enter a home and confront a knife-wielding suspect.
“Put the knife down right now,” the officer instructed the man with the knife.
A green piece of Christmas tinsel garland hung from the cop’s arm as he barked orders at the suspect.
Refusing to obey officers’ repeated demands to drop the knife, the suspect was shot in the face from just a few feet away, allowing the female victim to escape his clutches.
The horrifying incident caused the woman to run through the home shouting at the top of her lungs.
“Our deputies sprang to action when confronted with a situation where someone’s life was in immediate danger,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister. “Our deputies are trained to protect innocent lives, and that’s what they did.”
