Michaela Mulligan, Tampa Bay Times
A Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office deputy shot a 38-year-old man who police say ran toward deputies while holding a knife and had expressed a desire to commit “suicide by cop.”Christopher Ryan Kelly, 38, was grazed in the arm by a shot fired by Deputy Nicole Jones Monday night in an unincorporated neighborhood in Clearwater, a news release the Clearwater Police Department said.
Kelly was treated at a local hospital and then released. Clearwater police arrested Kelly Tuesday on two counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer and one count of resisting arrest without violence. Jail records show he is being held in the Pinellas County Jail on a $20,150 bond.
The Pinellas County Use of Deadly Force Investigative Task Force is investigating the shooting, the release said.

Glad the crazy man did not commit suicide by cop. Deputy, glad you’re ok.
At least it was in Missouri not SC…do you think she was just trying to scare them? Guess she learned that not everyone just screams and pees their pants…some shoot back!
Nutjob went off the edge when he found out that the Earth was, indeed…round.
Can’t say that I blame ol’ boy for taking up with another gal. That is one more fugly woman.
Ya gonna keep leading me into temptation with them 9mm aren’t you?
Aaron Burr lost his lovin’ feelin’ for Alex Hamilton.
You may have noticed 9mm is the most popular handgun ammo on the planet, right?
The pussification of pistol pellets is worldwide.
The Columbia one is a switch. Usually it’s the guy that gets shot because he hasn’t gotten the memo, “she’s over you, time to move on, oops, too late”.
Ah, well, such is diversity and equal opportunity.
I’d say that she needs range time and practice, but considering her temper, I’m not so sure that’s a good idea.
