OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
JSO responded to a domestic disturbance call at a home on Copper Springs Road on the Southside at 12:30 a.m. A woman was reportedly trapped inside a bedroom with a man “terrorizing her” with a knife. When Jacksonville deputies arrived, the woman had already escaped through the bathroom window while the man remained inside. After she escaped the building through a master bedroom window, SWAT bore down on the apartment with a standoff. SWAT fired gas into the home and the man ran out.
JSO’s Urban Assault Vehicle went in through the fence. Via helicopter, the man was seen trapped between two homes when officers arrived with guns drawn. The K9 was released and as the dog reached the man, he raised a knife to try and stab the police dog. Police shot and killed him.
