Lawmen used spike strips to try and stop the suspect, but it didn't work. The white male wearing blue shorts and no shirt made it as far as U.S. Highway 283 in Walton County and was northbound when he hit a patrol car and then wrecked his truck in the woods. Godwin said the suspect fired at deputies again before he ran into the woods.
Okaloosa County K9 units were dispatched to assist in the search for the suspect and helicopters are scanning the ground looking for him. The suspect is reported to have brown hair and a goatee.
The Walton County Sheriff's Office has placed Point Washington Preschool, South Washington Montessori School, Bay Elementary School and the preschool at the local Methodist Church on lockdown because the suspect is armed and on foot.
"Parents, please don't go try to pick up your children and stay in side and keep your door locked," Godwin cautioned.
