The two officers responded to the home of Mark Clark, 55, at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday to serve an arrest warrant. Clark spoke with the officers and then retrieved a small-caliber firearm and opened fire. Officer James Bearden was shot in the jaw and Officer James Carroll injured his elbow returning fire.
Clark went back into the home and initially refused to talk to police. He surrendered at 1:30 a.m. Sunday, reports Florida Today.
