PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) - Officials say a Panama City police officer has shot and killed a machete wielding man.

40-year-old man stood in a street with the machete screaming on Sunday
morning.
When officers arrived at the scene, they asked him
to put down his machete but say he refused. After unsuccessful attempts
to subdue him, the man reportedly charged at the officers and began
swinging his machete.
