Daytona Beach, Florida — Two members of the Daytona Beach Police Department (DBPD) were involved in a shooting this morning (May 25, 2020) while investigating an armed carjacking call. The officer and sergeant who used their handguns in that incident are now on paid administrative leave as the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) investigates. This is standard in officer-involved shootings. Both responded to the Wawa on 120 South Ridgewood Avenue soon after Volusia County emergency dispatchers received a call for help at 8:08 a.m. It all started at the Popeye’s restaurant near Wawa (101 North Ridgewood Avenue) when a man allegedly attempted to carjack a woman who works there.
The victim fought her way free, fled the scene towards Wawa and called for police from there. When the officer arrived on scene, he spotted a man on the north side of the Wawa parking lot on foot and armed with a rifle. He ordered that man to put the weapon down numerous times and fired when that man pointed the rifle at the officer. The sergeant arrived on scene as the first shots were fired by the officer. He drew his weapon and fired at the suspect until he fell to the ground. In total, six shots were fired by the officer and the sergeant. The Police department is still investigating to see if the suspect fired his weapon. Paramedics took the suspect to Halifax Health Medical Center for treatment after officers placed him in handcuffs.
He underwent surgery and is expected to recover from his injuries, according to DBPD Chief Craig Capri. “I’m very proud of my officers, the way they acted today. They were very professional. They did their jobs,†Capri said to media at the scene. “It’s unfortunate that someone had to be shot in this incident, but we didn’t start this. The suspect escalated this incident. We tried to deescalate.†The officer and sergeant involved were not injured in this incident. Neither was the woman who called for assistance or any of the other responding officers. The identities of the officers and suspect involved are not available currently as the investigation is active and ongoing.

Marksmanship.
BOOM BOOM STICK…. BOOM BOOM, BAD BOY GO DOWN.
Picked the wrong day, officer crackshot on duty
Ok everyone is saying the second cop was slow… watch it again. When he call on the radio for air support, and then shots fired, the car is still in drive and he moves forward several feet, while putting the radio down, putting the car in park, and drawing his weapon…
Nice shooting
Nice
My tax dollars at work 😄👌
You're handcuffing a dead guy.
officer must be a combat veteran. no bullshit drama, no unnecessary cover with a few commands. Good job.
Why is the original officer that responded blurred out?
Where did the bullets go that missed the guy the cop was shooting at….maybe the people he wasn't shooting at behind the suspect in the parking lot…nice going sir…
JESUS!!!!…this police officer is from that white supremacist gang named three percenters? nobody see his tatoo?
Fixing stupid with lead therapy 😂🤣😅🤣😂

"He underwent surgery and is expected to recover from his injuries"
that SUCKS
Sad suicide by cop not one shot fired from.the rifle. Wouldn't be surprised if it was empty.
1:53 bad guy had tunnel vision and never noticed the other cop car pulling in or even seemed to acknowledge the second cop's first shot. 2:48 all the cops now seem to have tunnel vision and are all looking inward. Until it's been totally secured, each incident should be treated as if there are secondary culprits or possible retaliatory actions by bystanders or even family.
Every time I watch one of these videos I can't help thinking how stupid the crooks are.
Good work…thanks
They always have their pants down.
