Thirteen seconds after the deputies asked, “Is he still holding the knife?” the video shows the man running out the front door with a kitchen knife, yelling at deputies.

Deputies said they demanded the man to drop the knife and he refused and charged towards them.

The video shows deputies firing at least four shots and saying the knife was still in a reachable distance from the man after the shooting.
