Man commits suicide after shooting at 3 deputies' vehicles in Florida Keys, officials say
A man armed with an AR-15 assault rifle shot three deputies' vehicles in Marathon on Thursday night before apparently taking his own life, according to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies were dispatched to an apartment complex on Sombrero Boulevard around 10 p.m. after the sheriff's office received a call about a man throwing objects from the roof.
As the deputies approached the building, the gunman began shooting at their vehicles, according to the sheriff's office.
A perimeter was established as a SWAT Team and additional officers from the Florida Highway Patrol, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission arrived to provide assistance.
A Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office helicopter crew spotted the man motionless on the roof. The SWAT Team confirmed the man was dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to the sheriff's office.
"I am relieved no deputies or members of the public were harmed during this incident," Sheriff Rick Ramsay said in a statement.
Sheriff's investigators are working to identify the man.

Adam ‘Pacman' Jones arrested, charged with assaulting officer, public intoxication
Former NFL cornerback Adam 'Pacman' Jones was arrested Saturday morning on charges of public intoxication, disorderly conduct and assault of an officer. He was booked into Kenton County Jail (Ky.) at 1:51 a.m., according to public records. The Covington Police Department did not respond to a request for comment about what led to the arrest. Jones, 35, was released Saturday on $10,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court Monday. Advertisement In November, Jones was arrested in Arlington, Texas, hours after the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul boxing match on charges of assault on a peace officer, public intoxication, evading arrest and resisting arrest. He was previously arrested in 2023 near Cincinnati on charges of alcohol intoxication, disorderly conduct and terroristic threatening for unruly behavior on an outbound flight at CVG Airport. The former cornerback was a first-round pick by the Tennessee Titans in 2005 and played primarily for the Cincinnati Bengals during his career, which spanned from 2005 to 2018. He was out of the NFL for two of those seasons, in 2007 due to suspension and in 2009 after being released by the Dallas Cowboys, with whom he was also suspended for four games in 2008. During his playing career, Jones was arrested or questioned by police in eight separate incidents, including a 2007 shooting at a Las Vegas nightclub that paralyzed a man and cost Jones $11 million in damages. In May 2017, Jones pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor charge of obstructing police, leading the NFL to suspend him for the 2017 season opener. He retired in 2018 after playing seven games with the Denver Broncos. (Photo of Jones in 2017: Wesley Hitt / Getty Images)
