SAN JACINTO, Calif. (CNS) -- A man who allegedly barricaded himself inside a San Jacinto residence with a 12-year-old child and swung a machete at sheriff's deputies was shot and killed by law enforcement personnel, authorities said Tuesday.

Deputies responded to the 800 block of Minor Street for a domestic dispute at 12:56 p.m., according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.

A woman reported her boyfriend was behaving erratically and armed with a machete. She was able to escape from the residence, however the suspect prevented her 12-year-old child from leaving with her, the department said.
