JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said Sunday night it is investigating a shooting in the San Jose neighborhood that involved officers.
Police first responded to Toledo Road near Old Kings Road around 7:45 P.M. after hearing that an armed man had punched his pregnant girlfriend in the stomach.
Police said that a similar incident had happened between the couple two days before, but the man had fled the scene before they arrived.

When they pulled up to the man, he reportedly exited the car and started walking away, despite orders to stop.
