JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 The Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office released<\/a> body camera video showing an officer-involved shooting of a woman who fired shots at officers. <\/p>\n

Officers responded twice to 911 calls reporting a woman pointing a gun on Oct. 10. When officers arrived at the scene in each instance, the woman could not be located. <\/p>\n

On Oct. 11, a third call reported the woman pointing a gun. Officers responded to the scene and found a woman yelling and throwing objects on a sidewalk. <\/p>\n

Body camera video shows officers attempting to approach the suspect, who continued walking away from them. The suspect ignored repeated commands to stop and show her hands. <\/p>\n

Officers responding to the scene confirmed she matched the description of the suspect from the gun incidents from the day prior. <\/p>\n

As officers continued to follow the woman, she reached into her bag, pulled out a gun and fired at officers, striking the driver\u2019s side door of a patrol car.<\/p>\n

Officers returned fire, striking the woman. She was pronounced deceased at the scene. <\/p>\n

They approached her and secured the gun before rendering aid. An investigation later found that one of the shots the suspect fired had stovepiped. <\/p>\n

The suspect had a criminal history including resisting a law enforcement officer, battery, criminal mischief and theft. <\/p>\n
