“This guy is dangerous. If you’re in a home and he breaks into your home and you have a gun, blow him out the door cause he’s like a rabid animal,” Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper said, according to the paper.

County sheriffs are the only public officials left with any sense.

Patrick McDowell was driving a stolen vehicle and is still on the run, as cops believe he shot a police dog that was on his trail.

Deputy sheriff Joshua Moyers was shot in the face after he pulled over Patrick McDowell during a traffic stop.

I think it’s safe to refer to this one as an EX Marine.

Not to be picky, but shouldn’t the title be “Deputy Sheriff Not Expected......”

At any rate, I hope this ass is dealt with appropriately....

—”Iraq? Afghanistan? Both?”

Equally possible is that he never completed Basic?
And not ever a Marine.

Time will tell.

He was in the United States Marine Corps from Sept. 27, 2005 to Nov. 26, 2009. McDowell then served in the Marine Corps Reserve between 2009 and 2013.

According to Marine records, he was a Field Radio Operator. He was deployed twice, in 2009 to Operation Iraqi Freedom. The Sergeant also received several awards in his time in the military like the Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, Sea Service Deployment Ribbon, Korean Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and Nation Defense Service Medal.

According to background documents obtained by First Coast News, McDowell lived at Camp Pendleton in California, a Marine Corps training base, from 2006 to 2009.

Proficient with a firearm - Patrick McDowell participated in shooting competitions in 2014, according to the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office.

Looks like he keeps getting arrested, but never convicted.

Seems like there may be more to this story.

(Deployed twice in same year?)


Does this look like a Marine?

He is clearly a druggie. Plus, possibly more issues.

Deputies say Patrick McDowell has previously been Baker Acted and has been noted to suffer from depression, seizures, and PTSD.

I hope the shooter is safely caught, and is held accountable for his unforgiveable actions. I also hope that other veterans receive the care they need and deserve.
