Jacksonville, FL - A man was hospitalized after shooting at officers who returned fire late Sunday night, leaving the man in critical condition, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.

Shortly after 11 p.m., JSO said four officers arrived at the man's home, located in the 1800 block of Sandalwood Boulevard, after the man's family called the sheriff's office and said he fired shots with his pistol and talked about hurting himself.

JSO Chief Alan Parker said the man, identified as 51-year-old Andreas Wetzel, had been drinking wine before officers arrived at his home and shot his gun to "let off some steam."

When the officers made contact with Wetzel, Parker said he was sitting in his car with the gun.

JSO said Wetzel shot at the officers after they asked him several times to get out of the car, prompting them to shoot him. Wetzel was shot in the torso, Parker told First Coast News.

Once Wetzel was stable at the hospital, according to JSO, officers asked him why he was drinking leading up to the incident. Wetzel stated he has been dealing with "long-standing relationship issues" and was depressed from it, Parker said.
