JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A sheriff's office in north Florida says one of their officers has shot and killed a suspect.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office tweeted Wednesday morning that the shooting took place at a Motel 6 in Jacksonville. The sheriff's office says no officers were injured.
The Florida Times-Union reports that the unidentified man's body was in the motel's back parking lot and officers had cordoned off the motel.
A woman who lives at the motel tells the newspaper she heard seven to eight gunshots. Lasonia Kassim says she saw a man on the ground on his stomach and an officer kicking him before another officer handcuffed him. Kassim says the man appeared to be dead.
