Woodbury County deputy kills man accused of tire iron attack

SERGEANT BLUFF, Iowa (AP) — A Woodbury County sheriff’s deputy shot and killed a man who authorities say had attacked him with a tire iron. Deputies were called to a mobile home park in Sergeant Bluff about 6 p.m. to check a report of a burglary. The Sioux City Journal reports that after deputies arrived, a witness pointed them to someone who was trying to enter a home. When deputies approached the man, they say he threatened them with a tire iron. A deputy fired a stun gun at the man but it didn’t stop him and he hit another deputy with the tire iron. The second deputy then shot the man. He was taken to a Sioux City hospital, where he died. The injured deputy was treated at a hospital and released.
