(KCTV) &#8211; Self-defense is believed to play a role in the fatal shooting of a man assaulting multiple individuals with a dagger near a rural Missouri amphitheater.<\/p>\n<p>The Benton County, Missouri, Sheriff\u2019s Office says that around 3:50 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 13, emergency crews were called to the 3100 block of Highway MM, near the Grand Stage Amphitheater, with reports of a disturbance that involved a knife and firearms.<\/p>\n<p>As law enforcement officials responded, they said additional information was received that an individual had been shot. When they arrived, they found Mark S. Lomax, 59, with a gunshot wound to his chest. He was airlifted to the University of Kansas Medical Center where he later succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n<p>The Sheriff\u2019s Office said video footage reviewed on Friday revealed Lomax had been armed with an edged dagger as he assaulted multiple individuals. He confronted a vehicle that attempted to leave and tried to assault the driver as he stabbed the vehicle multiple times.<\/p>\n<p>As the altercation continued, law enforcement officials said a woman emerged from Lomax\u2019s home and screamed for help as she ran to a neighbor\u2019s house. The neighbors came out as the altercation escalated and Lomax was shot.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation revealed two individuals fired shots during the incident, however, only one is believed to have fired the fatal shot.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>1 \/ 0 \/ 0<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kctv5.com\/2025\/02\/15\/fatal-shooting-rural-missouri-believed-be-self-defense\/\">KCTV 5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>He stabbed a car?
