An Alachua County deputy shot a 26-year-old man early Monday during a domestic disturbance at a Gainesville home, authorities said.
The shooting happened about 2 a.m. Monday when deputies were called to an armed disturbance at a home on SW 75th Way involving a couple involved in a previous call for service Sunday evening, according to the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies were unable to find the man, identified as Jeremiah Birrey, during the first call for assistance about 9:30 p.m. Sunday, the Sheriff’s Office said. When the second call came in, deputies were told the man had returned, this time armed with a knife.

When uncontrollable stressors rise, so does domestic violence.
“When they lose control, they’ll do anything to take it back,” said Carol Wick, CEO of Sharity Global.
