Miami deputies in apartment shootout

This footage, provided by the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office in Florida, shows their Deputies responding to a suspect actively attempting to shoot someone in a local apartment complex. When they locate the suspect, still armed, a gunfight ensues. Although the victim ultimately survived her injuries, viewer discretion remains advised. 911 calls alerted the Sheriff's Office that the suspect, later identified as Javier Jara, 50 years of age, was attempting to shoot someone. Cell phone footage supplied by a witness shows Jara acting erratically and jumping through a window. He confronts someone before returning to his apartment on the 4th floor and shooting a 46-year-old woman in the chest and firing several more rounds in the apartment. Witnesses then pointed the Deputies to Jara's location, where an exchange of gunfire ensued. When Jara continued to try to manipulate his handgun, the officers established a perimeter and await SRT. SRT found Jara unresponsive, whereupon local Fire Rescue pronounced him deceased. His victim was taken to an area hospital and was stabilized, ultimately surviving her injuries. No other persons were harmed.
