Palm Beach County Deputies Fatally Shoot Man Attacking a Woman Near Jupiter, Florida, Early on November 10: Woman Hospitalized and Two Deputies Placed on Administrative Leave
A man who attacked a woman with a knife in a suburban Jupiter residence died after Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office deputies shot him early on November 10, the agency said. The incident took place in Palm Beach County, Florida.
The Sheriff's Office said two deputies responded to a domestic disturbance shortly before 2 a.m. to a residence on the 6500 block of Jupiter Gardens Boulevard, and confronted the man as he attacked the woman. The agency did not disclose the man's name or age, and Chief Deputy Bob Allen said detectives were still attempting to confirm his identity as of that afternoon.
The woman was taken to a hospital to be treated for stab wounds, cuts and a possible concussion. The two deputies who discharged their weapons have been placed on administrative leave under agency protocol.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office will investigate the shooting and determine whether the deputies' actions were legally justified. The Sheriff's Office said the incident marked the seventh time this year that a deputy of the agency has used deadly force.
