A man who shot at a Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office supervisor at a stop station off West Beaver Street was killed after the sergeant returned fire. Director Edwin Cayenne and Chief Michael Paul shared the details about the officer-involved-shooting.
Around 3:30 p.m. today, Tuesday, August 18, a patrol sergeant was sitting in his vehicle at the stop station when the suspect approached him. The sergeant exited his vehicle and had a brief conversation with the suspect. The suspect then pulled out a firearm and fired one shot at the sergeant. The bullet missed the sergeant, but hit the stop station where other officers were working. The sergeant pulled his firearm out and shot the suspect. The suspect dropped to the ground. He was taken to a local hospital where he passed away from his injuries.
The man has been identified as 45-year-old Christopher Ford.
Due to Marsy’s Law, we cannot share the name of the sergeant for 72 hours.
This is the 14th officer-involved-shooting this year for the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. The State Attorney’s Office is on scene conducting an independent investigation. Once that investigation is complete, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office will conduct its own investigation into policies and procedures.

This seriously might be the best defensive stretch I’ve seen in college basketball. The Gators had a block or a steal against Alabama in eight straight possessions:
Block
Block
Steal
Steal
Steal
Block
Steal
Block
Alabama got off ONE shot attempt that wasn't blocked in the first five minutes and didn't score until 14:29 in H2.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson snaps at reporter for saying ‘illegal alien’ and calls it ‘racist, nasty language’
@TomiLahren: “If Mayor Brandon Johnson believes that illegal alien refers to a race, that’s actually the racist part of this equation, because illegal alien is a category and a classification based on a voluntary action, not a skin color. So if you associate illegal alien with black or brown people, that’s a YOU problem, Mayor.”
