Sheriff: Florida deputy not going to survive shooting

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say a North Florida sheriff’s deputy who was recently shot twice during a traffic stop is not going to survive his injuries. Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper said Saturday that doctors did their best to save 29-year-old Deputy Joshua Moyers, but “there was just nothing they could do.” Leeper says the deputy’s family decided that Moyers’ organs should be donated, so medical personnel are keeping him alive until the hospital can find matches for the organs. Moyers was shot early Friday morning just north of Jacksonville after pulling over 35-year-old Patrick McDowell. Investigators are searching for McDowell and have warned the public that he’s likely armed and dangerous.
