A Cullman County Sheriff’s deputy shot and killed Darren Robert Kindgren, a 51-year-old white male, at his home after authorities say he became unstable following a medical assistance call. Emergency medical services were called to the subdivision residence, and sheriff’s reports note Kindgren had been cutting his arms and was bleeding.
Chief Deputy Max Bartlett said the EMS responders called two deputies to the scene to help subdue Kindgren after he became erratic. The man reportedly broke free from the EMS workers outside the home and ran back inside.
When he returned moments later, authorities say he was brandishing a three-foot sword and threatening to “kill everyone out [t]here.” Bartlett said Kindgren advanced several yards toward the deputies, while the officers issued commands telling him to stop and put down the weapon.
When Kindgren continued to approach the deputies, Bartlett said the officers attempted to subdue him with non-lethal force using a Taser. The shot either partially missed or failed to stop him upon impact.

This has the capacity to be a three ring circus.
