When rescue approached the home, a man ran out wielding a large machete. According to police, that man chased the rescue officers into a wooded area, before turning around and re-entering the home. As they drew close, the same suspect ran back out of the home, again brandishing the machete. One of the officers fired three shots at the armed suspect, killing him on the scene.
