Officials say Jacksonville police shot a knife-wielding man early today who threatened to cut off officers' heads.
The Florida Times-Union http://bit.Ly/27msZ3y reports that according to Chief Chris Butler of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, the incident began when a manager of a downtown McDonald's called police because a man with knives was banging on the windows in a threatening manner.
When officers arrived the man was across the street where he was yelling at them that he would cut their heads off.
Butler say officers approached the suspect and tried to negotiate with him to drop the knives and surrender but he raised the large knife and charged at officers in a threatening manner, leaving them no choice but to shoot.
The suspect is in critical condition. Police are investigating.
