A man has been charged with shooting at a police officer whose life was likely saved by his ballistic shield Thursday morning.
Corey Joseph Marioneaux, Jr. was charged with the attempted murder of a police officer.
The Pensacola Police Department SWAT team was serving a high risk search warrant on North 7th Avenue about 5 a.m.
Marioneaux reportedly fired at officers. One round struck the viewing area officer’s ballistic shield, preventing the officer from being shot in the face, according to police.
The officer returned fire, but missed the suspect. It was the first time in the history of the SWAT team that a live round has been fired at a suspect.
Marioneaux was released on a $50,000 bond.

I’m sure he will be in prison until Valentine’s Day.
I’m sure he will be in prison until he turns 65 years of age.
Great job PPD, taking the trash out.
