(AP) Authorities have killed a man they say shot a Florida police captain near a gas station.
The shooting prompted a large manhunt Thursday that ended after a helicopter pilot saw the 38-year-old suspect Jayson Colvin hiding under a canoe. He exchanged gunfire with authorities and was killed.
Eustis police Officer Lauren Brown confirmed that authorities engaged Colvin and that he is deceased.
Authorities said he has a lengthy rap sheet and that they were familiar with him.
Capt. Gary Winheim was alert and talking when he was airlifted to the hospital. He's listed in stable condition.
