Deputy shoots man who stabbed 2 people, killing 1, on turnpike

VICKERY (AP) — Authorities say a man stabbed two people, killing one of them, before an Ohio sheriff’s deputy shot him at a turnpike plaza.

Police responded Tuesday to the Erie Islands Service Plaza on the Ohio Turnpike for reports of two stabbing victims.

A deputy encountered a man who was carrying a knife, at which point the suspect was ordered to drop the weapon.

The man charged the deputy, who shot him after less lethal force was unsuccessful.

The man was taken to a hospital.

One of the victims died at the scene and the other was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries.
