Put your hands behind your back. Yeah, [ __ ] Yeah, [ __ ] >> The shot struck the man in the left side of his torso, [music] immediately ending the struggle.

Do not get [screaming] up. Stay down. >> About 4 minutes after the shooting, backup deputies arrived. After securing the scene, they approached the man and placed him in handcuffs.
