A 19-year-old man is in critical condition after a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office deputy responding to a domestic call on Tuesday night shot him as he “advanced toward” them while swinging a machete, the Sheriff’s Office said.

Deputies went to a home in the 7400 block of 43rd Terrace North in unincorporated Riviera Beach about 6 p.m. for a call of a domestic disturbance, spokesperson Teri Barbera said in a news release late Tuesday night.

As the deputies were taking information from a woman standing underneath the carport of the home, a man, identified on Wednesday as Andre Mayard, came out of the home and grabbed a machete from a nearby bush, Barbera said. He then walked toward the deputies while swinging it over his head.
