A Hall County Sheriff’s Office deputy shot and injured a man who approached deputies early Sunday wielding "a large weapon thought to be a sword or machete." The incident took place near a home on Grant Street near Ga. 13/Atlanta Highway and across from the Chicopee Mill Village community. Deputies responded at 7:10 a.m. to an assault call in the 2000 block of nearby Sailors Avenue.
