Man Shocked With Taser Gun Dies
Man Holding Hammer Charged Car, Witnesses Say

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A man has died after Orange County deputies used a Taser gun to control him, according to the sheriff's office.

The man, who died Wednesday morning, has not been identified.

A sheriff's office spokesman said the man was "under the influence" when deputies shocked him with a Taser gun on Tuesday.

Witnesses said the man was charging at cars on the road with a hammer. The man was really holding a squeegee, but deputies found a wrench in his car and determined the suspect was dangerous, the sheriff's office said.

Deputies tried to calm the man before using the Taser gun, the sheriff's office said.

3. Good thing he didn't have a tire iron, they might have shot him!

I know, wtf? Charging cars with a squeegee, but he might have gone back to his car, gotten past the police, gotten the wrench and....?
