News4JAX on Tuesday obtained a partially-redacted police report for Eric Hurley, the man who was shot by a Duval County Public Schools police officer after investigators said he attempted to get into Ruth N. Upson Elementary, ax in hand.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
Prior to the shooting involving the officer, the report states, Hurley attempted to make entry to the elementary school, which was previously reported by the school superintendent. The report notes that the entry clerk spoke with Hurley, who reported that the man was holding the ax over his shoulder and stated to her, “You want to be next?”
Police Chief Greg Burton said Hurley left the school, he was encountered by officers outside the church. “He immediately started walking towards the cop as calmly as can be,” Daniels recalled. “Taking big wide steps with the ax raised. I couldn’t hear anything, but I could assume the cop was saying, ‘Drop your weapon. Drop your weapon.’ He wasn’t dropping his weapon and kept approaching the cop.”
