OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Around 2 a.m., a QuikTrip clerk called 911 to report that a woman had entered the store, stating her boyfriend, Jess Jackson, had threatened her, made suicidal statements, and possibly fired a gun at a home on North Terrace Drive. When officers arrived at the QuikTrip, the woman was no longer present. Officers proceeded to the residence on North Terrace Drive, where a resident confirmed Jackson was staying due to relationship issues and allowed officers entry. Officers found Jackson in bed and ordered him to get out and show his hands. Jackson ignored commands and reached toward the floor, producing a handgun from under the blankets. An officer then fired four shots, fatally wounding Jackson.
