Two men are in custody after a police-involved shooting early Monday.
At approximately 12:14 a.m. in the 600 block of East 21st Street, a Jacksonville Sheriff's Office officer
attempted to pull over a black Chevy Impala for driving with no headlights on.
According to JSO, the driver ignored the officer and turned into Sanctuary Walk Apartments, with the officer following behind.
The driver drove toward the back of the apartment complex and parked near building five. Police then said the driver and the passenger exited the car and fled on foot.
JSO said the officer as well as another witness officer saw the driver of the car exit with a handgun in his waistband.
Police said while they were chasing the suspect through the complex, the suspect kept reaching into his waistband repeatedly as if to fire his weapon.
According to JSO, as one officer fired two rounds at the suspect, another officer entering the complex hit the suspect with his vehicle, pinning him to a fence.
