Florida school police shoot ax-wielding man trying to enter elementary school

[FoxNews] A school police officer in Jacksonville shot an ax-wielding man who tried and failed to enter an elementary school after police caught up with him, and he refused to drop his weapon.

Duval County Superintendent Dr. Diana Greene told News 4 Jax that the incident occurred around 2:48 p.m. on Friday, and Ruth N. Upson Elementary School went into lockdown when the man approached the school. A school safety assistant initially turned the man back and followed him a short distance but did not leave the campus in order to ensure that the school remained secure, Burton told reporters.

"Police officers from the Duval County School Police Department were on the way. As the subject then left the school, he made his way towards a church where he was then encountered by the police officers," DCPS Police Chief Greg Burton said.

"As the subject came towards one of the police officers, the officers gave him verbal warnings to drop the ax, kept giving him verbal warnings to drop the ax," Burton continued.
"Careful with that axe, Eugene"
"My name's Eric"
*Bang*
The man did not comply and instead threatened the officer, which prompted the officer to shoot "at least one time." The man was in critical condition following the confrontation.

News4Jaz adds:

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office identified the man as 37-year-old Eric Hurley.

Superintendent Dr. Diana Greene said that school staff followed procedures, not allowing him inside. Then, the school went into lockdown.

“Our staff followed their training, kept all of our students and staff community safe,” Greene said.

#1 Yes, before he gets in is the right time to shoot him. School districts following the Uvalde model please take note.

SARCASTIC HUMOR SWITCH ON

(CNN/MSNBC Report )
Fla. Police Officers become Judge and Jury, in violating a Lumberjacks rights. They failed to wait the customary 80+ mins. outside 1st of the school building and instead disrupted the Lumberjack's alternative Axe usage demonstration for the students?

Several leading Democrats are now demanding congressional hearings on Street police having firearms.

The Lumberjacks' family has set up a Gohelpme$$ for his medical bills and his Jail bond set at $110,009.

The family lawyer plans to sue the Police dept. for $1B and is demanding the return of the axe so that the axe demonstration can be continued at a later not yet determined date.
