Deputy hailed hero for saving partner from machete attack

Body cam video has been released showing a machete attack on a sheriff's deputy in California.

It happened in Tulare County, just southeast of Fresno, Thursday.

In the front yard of the home where the scene unfolded, deputies spoke with a woman who was concerned about her son, later identified as 26-year-old Anthony Trujillo.

The sheriff says the woman told the deputies her son was off his medication and was inside acting erratically.

She feared for her safety, so the deputies agreed to go inside.

Up to six shots were fired, striking Trujillo in the upper body. He later died. One shot also hit the already injured deputy in the right wrist.
