JSO\u2019s drug task force returned to the scene later in the day to do surveillance, \u201cso they could see if there was any illegal activity from the residence where the complaints were coming from,\u201d Paul said.<\/p>\n
Two officers were sitting in an unmarked police vehicle at about 9:18 p.m. when a man, identified as Samuel Deandre Cook, walked around the vehicle, Paul said. When Cook approached the front of the vehicle, he pulled out a handgun and pointed it at the officer.<\/p>\n
