So she got on the phone, with him believing she was the daughter, and arranged to meet with him at 7 a.m. at the Popeyes at 649 S. McDuff Ave. to confront him.<\/p>\n<p>She showed up with her daughter and 11-year-old son, but he instead &#8220;confronts them with a pistol in his waistband, lifts it and says, &#8216;When you hear the shots tonight, you&#8217;ll know what&#8217;s up,'&#8221; Parker said.<\/p>\n<p>She took her children inside the Popeyes to call the police, and he went around the back of the restaurant. When an officer pulled up in the back, the 18-year-old was still there even though he had plenty of time to leave, Parker said.<\/p>\n<p>The officer ordered him to turn around and show his hands, but he &#8220;slowly turns his back to the officer and he takes off running around the back of the business,&#8221; the chief said. &#8220;So the officer takes off in a foot pursuit. As he hits the corner, he sees the suspect pull the pistol from his waistband. He yells for him, &#8216;Drop, stop, gun, gun, gun,&#8217; engages suspect; he [the officer] shoots multiple times. The suspect continues around the neighboring business, then drops the gun. He continues running. The officer tracks him and loses sight of him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The other officers had set up a perimeter and brought in a K-9 and they soon found him in a drainage culvert. They called him out without further incident and began medical aid. He was shot in the torso, hand and possibly a leg but was in stable condition, Parker said.<\/p>\n<p>He said it didn&#8217;t appear that he had exchanged gunfire with the officer. Detectives also recovered the gun.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>0 \/ 1 \/ 0<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/news\/jacksonville-police-shoot-teen-mom-173634522.html\">Yahoo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The pic of the firearm Mr. Banks brought explains why the bullets all went one way.
