South Carolina sheriff’s deputies fatally shot a suspect after he repeatedly stabbed a police dog during a raid, according to reports.

The incident unfolded Thursday when deputies from the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office responded to the home of 39-year-old Darius L.J. Holcomb to serve a warrant, Fox News reported, citing authorities. Holcomb, however, locked himself in a bedroom and reportedly threatened the officers with a knife.

As authorities tried to negotiate with Holcomb, family members were removed from the house and then officers deployed tear gas, according to Fox News. Holcomb refused to comply.

“Upon arriving, the suspect threatened deputies with a knife,” Spartanburg County Sheriff Cpl. John Burgess said, according to Fox News.
