Deputy stabbed, man killed in Idaho police shooting

A man is dead following a police shooting in southwest Idaho and a law enforcement officer is recovering from multiple stab wounds.

Hollinshead says the deputy and officer confronted a man matching the description and were attacked, with both the deputy and officer firing their weapons. The deputy received multiple stab wounds and was taken to St. Luke’s Elmore Medical Center in Mountain Home with non-life-threatening injuries, and was treated and released. Names haven’t been released. Authorities are continuing to investigate.
