The officer approached an illegally parked mini-van on 7th Street near the James A. Bryne US Courthouse at about 9:30 a.m. to tell the driver to move, US Marshals told reporters. When the man emerged from the vehicle holding multiple "edged weapons" and refused to follow commands, the officer opened fire, authorities said.

The suspect was taken into custody and rushed to a nearby hospital for surgery, reports claim. US Marshals were not immediately available for comment.
