The man who was shot, 25-year old Robert Jason Donson, was transported by ambulance to Baptist Hospital. His condition was not available.

Thanks Pensacola Police Department. God bless you.
LOL Char – because someone likes straight, fact based reporting rather than an article injected with opinion does not mean they have some special interest in the news story.
I hope this investigation turns up a valid reason for the officer to have been involved in this… PPD doesn’t need anymore negativity.
@ Josh and John…. you must be cops, AND your just going to make people
more curious. It is going to make people think there WAS something
wrong with this shooting.
I personally would like to know what happened, that is part of the
Who, What, When and WHY that William is famous for with this
News Paper.
You do a great job William,
MERRRY CHRISTMAS to you and YOURS.
I agree John. I always come to this website to get the facts of a story. Everyone gets a fare shake on here instead of a one sided slanted story. The other version I have read of this story was an outright trial by media of the officer before almost any of the information has been released. Thanks for the work you do William!
Thanks for writing an article that give facts and doesn’t make assumptions. It is appreciated compared to the slander from the other guys article. Glad this officer is ok also.
