On Saturday afternoon in Alachua County, FL Earl Jackson fired several shots at a Florida state trooper who was stopped along Interstate I-75 helping a stranded motorist.
As a result of the shooting I-75 was shut down for hours while police looked for the suspect who ran into the woods.Cops were able to locate him because he kept firing off random shots. When they found Jackson he made several statements about being associated with ISIS and then gunfire was exchanged between him and the deputies.
Jackson was killed but it is unsure if it was from the deputies shooting at him or from a self-inflicted gun wound. An autopsy is expected to be conducted to determine the cause of death.
