Florida man, 37 attempted to enter the Ruth N. Upson Elementary School in Jacksonville carrying a large axe and ended up getting shot.
At around 2:48 p.m. the suspect approached the entrance to the school armed with a large axe and the school staff followed procedure and did what they were supposed to do. The school was put into lockdown, the Duval County Schools Police Department was notified, and the school staff kept the man from entering the school. A school safety officer stayed on campus but kept an eye on the suspect as he left the school.
Bruce Perkins was waiting for his daughter to get out of school. He said, “He had an axe and he was swinging at parents right in front of the school.”
The suspect finally left, and as he started walking down the street following a couple towards a church, and as he neared the church, he was confronted by Duval County school police officers near Dancy Street. The man was ordered to drop the weapon repeatedly but did not comply. The suspect was shot at least once and is in the hospital in critical condition.
Duval County Schools Superintendent Diana Greene stated the school staff followed their training and kept all the students safe.
The school lockdown was lifted, and parents were advised of all’s well by the school.
The suspect has been charged with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill and trespass on school property with a firearm or other weapon.
His bond was set at $110,009, according to sheriff’s office records.
Hmmm....they revealed the age of the suspect but not the name.
Sus...
Did someone axe him what he was going?
Could have had some excuse.
Don’t axe don’t tell.
Smells like attempted suicide by police. They should honor his wishes and let him die. JMHO.
Thank God.
More stories like this need to be told, to demolish the arguments of those that want to disarm anyone at the schools, and leave the kids and teachers like fish on a barrel for easy slaughter.
I LOVE the extra $9 added to the bail..........
LOL.
Great one.
It’s those pesky semi-automatic and fully automatic assault
axes that are the biggest unnecessary threat!
And concealed hatchets? NEVER!
An Assault Axe?
Handcuff rental?
Axeman “axed” in JAX
These kind of stories put me on edge!
If the BSofA were still having their Camporees, the senior scouts could craft a dead-fall and the Axman could take a long knap following that.
Well done impala.
Just the right amount of psychosis and righteous moral outrage…
Freepers ROCK. What Awesome responses, one after another!

Sheesh....
