Nearby residents were evacuated to City Hall, located at 22795 Barton Road, as SWAT teams were called in to mediate the situation, sheriff’s officials said. Members of the public were urged to avoid the area.
After authorities were on scene for about 90 minutes, a deputy-involved shooting occurred. The man was struck by gunfire and taken to a nearby hospital in unknown condition, deputies said.
It was unclear what led up to the fatal use of force. A specialized unit was called in to investigate the incident, sheriff’s officials said.
No further details were immediately available.
