Active Shooter Situation At Grocery Store Ends With Suspect Shot By Escambia Deputy
August 15, 2019
FOR AN UPDATE TO THIS STORY, CLICK HERE.
Previous story:
An active shooter situation inside an Escambia County grocery store came to an end Thursday afternoon when the suspect was shot by an Escambia County Sheriff’s deputy.
The man walked into the Grocery Advantage on Lillian Highway at New Warrington Road with a handgun and then opened fire, according to Escambia County Sheriff David Morgan. He said the suspect was the only person injured; no civilians or deputies were hurt.
Chief Deputy Chip Simmons said three deputies were on scene quickly, and “they started to pursue the gunman through the store”. He said the suspect ran into the back warehouse area of the store and was hiding behind boxes of produce.
“The deputies challenged him there. He produced a firearm, and he was shot,” Simmons said. He described the gun as a small caliber handgun.
Morgan said the suspect’s motive is not known at this time. His name has not been released.
The suspect was transported to an area hospital.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement will investigate the officer involved shooting.
