@ajm5017@PoliceIncident Agreed, until the last part, bad bad shot. Pay attention to line of fire, almost hit 3 ppl, probably shot one of them girls too.
@neildacoolguy@PoliceIncident He clearly pointed the gun at them. "Freeze" is out the window at that point.
They arent required to stand there and take a bullet from a lunatic.
They are not all good shoots, but this one was.
Jacksonville Officers Fatally Shoot Armed Burglary Suspect After Multiple Home Invasions
Jacksonville, Florida — On May 4, 2026, Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office officers responded late at night to reports of multiple armed burglaries at townhomes on Rigel Road involving 33-year-old Brandon Laron Kaphers. According to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, Kaphers allegedly kicked in the front door of one residence while armed, prompting the homeowner to call 911. Minutes later, authorities said he forced entry into a second townhome, went upstairs, and pointed a handgun at a woman inside a bedroom. The resident then called 911.
Investigators said Kaphers then kicked in the front doors of two additional townhomes on the same street before officers arrived. Responding officers gathered near their patrol vehicles while attempting to locate the suspect. According to the sheriff’s office, Kaphers emerged from between parked vehicles and walked toward officers while pointing a handgun at them twice. Officers ordered him to drop the weapon, but officials said he did not comply.
Officers Gilberto Comayagua Jr., Roberto Vazquez, Joshua Paillant, and Anthony Schmidt fired their weapons, striking Kaphers. Authorities said Kaphers fell to the ground and dropped the handgun. Officers then took him into custody and provided emergency medical aid before he was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
According to law enforcement records released by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, Kaphers had prior criminal history that included aggravated assault with a weapon, false imprisonment of a minor, and additional charges. Authorities did not release further details regarding the dates or dispositions of those cases.
No officers or residents were reported injured during the incident. Officials confirmed Kaphers was armed with a handgun at the time of the shooting.

@kush817minded_@PoliceIncident Let me add after further looking at the vid, he clearly pointedhis firearm, shooting is justified, especially with context, however, pay close attention to the line of fire, that’s why they have a badge, bc they are supposed to be trained on that type of engagement.
@HappyHeetler@PoliceIncident You sure people like me ain’t been in these situations? Sounds like an assumption to me, you know what they say about them right?? Tell me what part of almost shooting an innocent girl in the head is a real life decision?
@neildacoolguy@PoliceIncident This isn’t the movies you fvcking moron. In real life decisions are made quicker before saying “freeze” or “stop” or “hey I’m the police put the gun down” I swear people like you have never been in these situations and never will because your scared rats
I promised Mayor Marion Barry that I would do more for Ward 8 than any Mayor ever had.
And I've kept my promise to him.
Today, we honor his legacy—memorialized in our buildings and streets, the nation's leading summer youth program, and the hearts of generations of Washingtonians.
Happy birthday to DC's champion for last, the lost, and the least: our Mayor for Life, Marion Barry.
