Jacksonville, FL - A man was shot and killed by a Jacksonville sheriff's officer Sunday at a mobile home park on the city's Westside after the man attacked the officer's vehicle and charged at them, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.

JSO Chief Alan Parker said the man, identified as 39-year-old Michael Lee Wright, lived at the mobile home park with his girlfriend, who the sheriff's office did not identify.

However, Parker said Wright's girlfriend decided not to stay with Wright Saturday night, but came back to their home Sunday morning.

"She came to I guess get a few things, see how things were," Parker said. "And as she pulled up, our suspect (Wright) came out, attacked her, started throwing stuff at the vehicle and everything, so she continued on."

Wright's girlfriend then went to a gas station in the nearby area, called JSO, and asked them to escort her back to her and Wright's home, Parker said.

Officer Patrick Burke, who's been with JSO for five years, according to Parker, then met up with Wright's girlfriend at the gas station.

Afterward, Parker said Burke and Wright's girlfriend went to the mobile home park, which is called Normandy Estates Mobile Home Park and located at 8985 Normandy Blvd., so that Wright's girlfriend could "get some things."

"As they arrive on scene, and they're pulling up, the suspect (Wright) comes out and literally begins to attack the officer's vehicle," Parker said. "He's banging on it, may or may not have thrown something at it, that's all part of what they're looking at. He got up on the hood at one point, banging on the hood."

Parker said Burke then reversed his vehicle, as Wright "continued his aggressive act" by hitting the vehicle on the driver's side and continuing to follow it.

Burke then put his vehicle in drive after Wright got in front of it, pulled forward and pushed Wright into a yard with his vehicle, according to Parker.

Afterward, Parker said Burke got out of the vehicle with his gun drawn, as Wright then "charged" at him with "some stuff in his hands."

Parker said Wright told Burke, "Go ahead and kill me" repeatedly, and said Burke told Wright to drop what Wright had in his hands. Parker did not mention what Wright had in his hands.

When Wright charged at Burke, according to Parker, Burke fired several shots, striking Wright.

Afterward, Burke gave Wright medical treatment after he was able to "safely secure" him, Parker said.

Then, Parker said Wright was taken to a local hospital, where he died.

Parker said Wright has an "extensive drug history," was Baker Acted about three years ago, and "had an overdose" within the past week. Parker also said Wright texted his girlfriend at an unknown time Sunday, saying "I'm going to die today."
