MERCED, Calif. (AP) - A sheriff's deputy has fatally shot a man
who stormed through security at a northern California county
courthouse carrying two large butcher knives.
District Attorney Larry Morse II says guards chased the man as
he ran down the hallway on Monday afternoon carrying the knives and
entered a courtroom holding them above his head.
Witnesses say the Merced County sheriff's deputy shot him
shortly after he charged through the courtroom doors. No other
injuries were immediately reported.
The courthouse remains on lockdown. A public defender says he
recognized the shooter as a previous client with a history of
mental illness.
