Officer Wounded in Shootout with Armed Suspect in Jacksonville

On Wednesday, March 12, 2025, Officer A.C. Gaulding with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office was working a traffic deployment in the area when he attempted a traffic stop on the vehicle driven by the suspect, 33-year-old Brandon White. White was slow to stop, driving past several safe places, until he pulled into a driveway. White immediately began firing his handgun at Officer Gaulding, hitting the officer in his foot. Officer Gaulding fired his gun at White as Officer Gaulding moved towards a position of cover. White then grabbed a rifle and attempted to get out of his vehicle. Officer Gaulding again fired his gun, incapacitating White. That’s when additional officers arrived on scene and provided emergency medical care to White. White was taken to a local hospital where he died. Crime scene detectives determined White was wearing body armor when he shot Officer Gaulding.
