Man who shot St. Charles County deputies is killed after stabbing officer

O'FALLON, Mo. • Deputies shot and killed a man who shot two deputies in an ambush early today and stabbed a police officer who was trying to capture him after a long manhunt near O'Fallon, the St. Charles County sheriff said. One St. Charles County deputy was shot in the wrist; the other was shot twice in the arm and hit by flying glass after bullets shattered a window on his patrol car at about 1 a.m. today. Their injuries were not life-threatening.

Then, at about 5:30 a.m., a St. Louis County police officer who was part of that department's SWAT team was stabbed by the suspect as the man confronted a team of searchers. The SWAT member was stabbed in the shoulder; he was wearing heavy gear, and the wound wasn't life threatening, said Sheriff's Lt. David Tiefenbrunn. Just as the officer was stabbed, other officers in the group fatally shot the suspect, a 61-year-old man from the Wentzville area. The officers who fired at him were just feet away, Tiefenbrunn added.
