Deputies: Armed suspect killed during SWAT raid in Florida
ORANGE PARK, Fla. – Authorities say an armed suspect who barricaded himself inside a northeast Florida home is dead after a SWAT team forced its way inside.
The Florida Times-Union (https://goo.gl/bQJvL2) reports that the shooting occurred Thursday evening.
The Clay County Sheriff’s Office says the SWAT team was serving a narcotics search and arrest warrant at the Orange Park home after complaints from neighbours about drug activity. Officials say four people inside the home exited without incident but a fifth person refused.
Deputies entered the home. Authorities say the suspect brandished a weapon and was shot.
The sheriff’s office didn’t immediately release the names or races of the suspect or the SWAT team members involved in the shooting.
