Man Tasered During Break-in Dies, Parents Sue

The parents of a 43-year-old man who was shot by sheriff's deputies with a Taser have filed a lawsuit against the county, reports the Modesto Bee. The man had broken into a California home and attacked the occupants. The man was shot with a Taser during the struggle that ensued when deputies attempted to take him into custody. The man died shortly after being handcuffed, according to the Modesto Bee. His father claimed that the man had epilepsy, and may have been seeking help for a seizure when he broke into the couple's home.
