Deadly force

A man reportedly took his own life with an officer's gun on the sidewalk along Pearl Street directly across the street from the Standard Life Building where JPD is headquartered. Police say a white male tackled an officer while the officer was leaving the municipal court building. The officer pulled his gun, but the man reportedly tackled the officer again, this time grabbing his weapon. The man fired one shot at the officer, which missed, then shot himself in the head.
