SHENANDOAH, Pa. (AP) — Police officers responding to a reported burglary at a southeastern Pennsylvania home shot and killed a man who lunged at them with a machete. State police say officers from Shenandoah and Mahanoy City police had responded to the home in Shenandoah around 12:30 a.m. Monday. The property owner had video surveillance in the home because it’s vacant, and the owner reported seeing someone in the house wearing a mask and with a big knife. State police say the officers soon found 32-year-old Byron Scheuring, of Shenandoah, under a bed upstairs and, when they moved the bed, he lunged at them with a machete. A Shenandoah officer then fired one shot that hit Scheuring, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
