Suspect OK After Deputy-Involved Shooting

A deputy-involved shooting in Pinellas County last night.

Officers were called to the 23-hundred block of Ella Place in unincorporated Clearwater by a woman who said her son was armed with a knife and wanted to die by "suicide by cop."

Sheriff's Office says the man, identified as Christopher Kelly, refused to drop the knife, and was shot by one of the deputies.

Kelly sustained non-life-threatening injuries, and was treated and released from a local hospital. He was later booked into the Pinellas County jail.
