The Alabama Bureau of Investigations is investigating an
officer-involved shooting which occurred overnight in Jacksonville leaving one
man dead. It happened late Tuesday night
at the Coliseum Apartments, near the Jacksonville State University campus. Jacksonville Police's Assistant Chief Bill
Wineman says the shooting happened in a second response to the area, and during
that second response, Wineman says
officers tried to get a man to come out of an apartment when he came out with a weapon. Wineman says officers told the man several
times to put down his weapon. Wineman said the
suspect refused to drop the weapon and came at the officers and the officers
had to defend themselves. The name of the victim has not been released as the investigation is ongoing.
