TAMPA, Fla. – A police officer shot a man raised his gun toward him as he responded to a call about a man who was “yelling incoherently” and banging on doors at a Tampa apartment complex, police said.
The incident happened late Monday at the Bowery Bayside Apartments, according to Tampa police. Jeremy D. Liwag, 28, was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
Officers went to the complex after receiving calls about the man.
Police told news outlets that after making a call to authorities, a woman reviewed her security video and saw that Liwag was armed with a handgun. She called the agency back to let officers know the man was armed.
