MIAMI — Walter Clark said he just cant believe that his friend would shoot at law enforcement. He also wouldn’t mention the Islamic State during a tense situation, he said.
His friend Earl Jackson, 59, was not that kind of guy, he said. The married father -- who retired from Miami-Dade Corrections, after serving for 26 years -- just would not do that, he said.
Alachua County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Art Forgey said it all began when a Florida Highway Patrol trooper stopped to render aid to Jackson who seemed to be stranded. Jackson fired several rounds and fled into the woods, Forgey said.
