Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper said during a news conference Monday that teams are combing though a wooded area for any evidence of McDowell, and that crews have already located a hat and other articles that reportedly belong to him.
McDowell is a former Marine and has extensive survivalist training.
"He's very much a survivalist, and he's been military trained on survival and weapons use. So he's very accomplished at survival and being unrecognized," he said. "He can't change his appearance, but he can sure hide well and knows how to stay out of people's line of sight," Del Angelo, a weapons instructor who trained McDowell, told WJXT.
Some area schools have been locked down during the manhunt.
Two officers were shot in Gainesville, Florida, by a man who police say was leaving an area where he had killed a man inside a business. The suspect exited his vehicle in what the chief termed an “ambush-style” attack.
