Video shows what happened right before deadly shooting involving Clay County deputies

ORANGE PARK, Fla. – The Clay County Sheriff’s Office said authorities on Wednesday night were sent to investigate a deadly shooting that involved deputies.

“The call started in the town of Orange Park. Our deputies got involved, at some point during the call ended up in a pursuit over here to Blanding and Fillmore where a deputy-involved shooting occurred,” Clay County Sheriff Michelle Cook said.

The person shot died of their injuries, Cook said.

The shooting happened just outside a Wawa gas station as residents looked on. Cook said there was no threat to the community and that several deputies were involved, but no deputies were injured.

A dashcam video sent to News4JAX by a viewer appears to show the end of the pursuit. A car can be seen losing control after a deputy performs a PIT maneuver.

It can’t clearly be seen what happens next, but multiple gunshots are heard while the people who recorded the video try to take cover.

Full uncut video shared by News4JAX viewer. Discretion advised.

No other details about the shooting were released by the Sheriff’s Office. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating.
