Jacksonville Police Shooting Escalates

A 22-year-old woman in Jacksonville was critically wounded in a police shooting after allegedly firing a gun during a mental health crisis call — the fourth such incident this year. Officers say she resisted commands, overcame a Taser, and fired one shot before police returned fire. No officers were injured. The suspect had eight prior mental health calls to the same address, and officials note civilian experts aren’t deployed when someone is armed. Both officers involved — five- and seven-year veterans — were experiencing their first shooting. This marks the 11th police shooting in Jacksonville this year, with six fatalities — a troubling uptick from last year’s 17. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
