On Tuesday, Jan. 10, around 9:45 a.m., agencies in Putnam County responded to a domestic violence incident in Kent that involved an abduction, according to Captain Michael Grossi of the Putnam County Sheriff's Office.
The suspect's vehicle was then located in Southeast by Pugsley Road, where the man was seen violently attacking a woman with a knife.
Deputies then shot the man to prevent him from further attacking the woman, police said. An attempt was made to save the suspect's life, but he died at the scene.
The incident is now being investigated by state police. The suspect's name has not been released.
"I am grateful for the quick and decisive actions of our personnel, which in turn saved the life of the victim,” said Putnam County Sheriff Kevin McConville.
