UPDATE: (ALACHUA) — The suspect who fired at a Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) trooper on Interstate 75 in Alachua County was found dead in the nearby woods Saturday.
ORIGINAL STORY
A massive manhunt is underway for a black male after shots were fired at a Florida Highway Patrol Trooper on the stretch of I-75 near Micanopy, Florida. I-75 has been shutdown from Williston Road to County Road 234 while authorities search for the suspect, who fled into nearby woods off of the interstate.
“The closure is due to an armed suspect that fired several rounds from a handgun at a FHP Trooper,” Florida Highway Patrol said. “The Trooper had arrived to assist a disabled vehicle when an unknown black male began firing at him, and then fled into the woods.”
The officer was not hurt in the attack.
“A perimeter has been established and it is believed the suspect is contained within,” FHP added. “ASO [Alachua County] SWAT has been deployed to the location & are in the process of searching & attempting to locate the suspect. The Interstate northbound at the location will be closed an undetermined time. Stay tuned for the latest updates.”
