"The door suddenly opened and a man with blood spurting form his neck entered the doorway" with Winkler — a thin man wearing a black shirt — running after him only inches away, Scott said.
The fleeing man appeared to be under "continuous attack," the sheriff said.
Three deputies fired four shots, and a bullet mortally wounded Winkler. The other man was hit in the leg and was hospitalized in stable condition, according to a Sheriff's Department statement.
So, the cops shoot someone on the basis of "he was running out of the door after someone else?" Was he carrying the 10-inch fucking knife the caller reported? You also managed to hit both a victim and the dude you thought was the perp. Wtf was he doing that might constitute a "continuous attack?" He was running out the door, the same as the other dude, just dressed differently.

An aspiring TV producer, who had worked for Comedy Central’s viral video-based series “Tosh.0,” was accidentally killed on Monday night when Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies mistook him for a mad slasher, FOX411 has learned.
...
The deputies, all department veterans, were removed from patrol after the shooting but were expected to return to full duty next week, sheriff's officials said.
A whole paid week off? Damn. Harsh.
