The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said no officers were hurt and urged drivers and nearby residents to steer clear while detectives lock down the area.
According to Action News Jax, the Gate gas station near the I‑95 ramps has been wrapped in crime-scene tape as investigators work the pavement and pump islands for evidence. The outlet reports it has a crew on site and plans to air an update at noon.

How officer-involved shootings are reviewed
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office maintains a public officer-involved shootings page that outlines how these cases are handled. Each incident is first reviewed by the State Attorney’s Office, then an internal response-to-resistance board looks at policy and training questions. JSO's OIS page also lays out timelines for community briefings, body-worn camera releases and administrative reviews.
What to expect
Details are still sparse. Authorities have not said whether any civilians were hit or whether anyone is in custody. According to Action News Jax, investigators remain on scene and have asked the public to avoid the area while they collect evidence. This story will be updated when the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office issues a fuller statement.
