South Florida deputies shot and killed a violent man, who is speculated to have been high on drugs, on Tuesday. According to authorities, the naked man attacked a retired New York City police officer before chasing a 10-year-old boy in Delray Beach. The assaults continued when the 6-foot-3, 250-pound man attacked an 18-year-old male, biting his face. The former officer and 18-year-old both visited the hospital where they were treated for their injuries. Police tased the man to no avail. The 18-year-0ld victim fought the man off with a box cutter, later saying that the man appeared to have supernatural levels of strength.
Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said “He’s obviously delirious on something,” adding, “He is a huge guy. He takes a fighting stance. They’re trying to get him on the ground. He starts charging them. The taser did not affect him.” A police sergeant fired three times, once to the torso and twice on the lower part of the body. The man was taken to Delray Medical Center, where he died. It has yet to be determined whether the unidentified man was on narcotics and if it was the drugs or the bullets that killed him.
