Fort Myers police officers on scene at a shooting (CREDIT: WINK News) A family wants answers after a police-involved shooting in Fort Myers left their loved one– who they said was unarmed– dead. Friday night, a man allegedly assaulted a disabled woman with a gun. Then he barricaded himself inside the house with the weapon, according to the Fort Myers Police Department. The man aimed at police through a window and an officer shot him, said police. He died in the hospital afterward. Cynthia Jordan, 62, said she lost her little brother Friday night, Cristopher Jordan. He was 57 years old. “A nightmare, tragedy, accident,” she said. “I don’t understand it.” She said that she had called Fort Myers Police that night because she felt threatened by her brother. According to the press release, Cristopher had threatened Cynthia with a gun. However, she said she never saw him with a gun. “It didn’t seem like nothing was going down,” said the sister, “and then I wonder why they shot him through the window. Did they feel threatened for their life? Is that the reason they shot him? I want answers.” Police said when they arrived, they saw the suspect enter the house with a gun and wouldn’t come out. After 45 minutes of trying to talk to him, police said, he pointed a gun at them through a window. That’s when one of the officers fired their gun, shooting and killing him. Other family members and neighbors said they never saw Cristopher Jordan with a gun. They said they heard gunshots, though, as they were forced to evacuate the scene by officers. Fort Myers Police cleared the scene by 5 a.m. Saturday and returned later that day to tell the family Cristopher had died at the hospital. “What was the motive of them killing him? What was the motive? I don’t understand. Devastated,” said Cynthia. Fort Myers Police said the officer who fired the shot is now on paid administrative leave, which is department policy. The police shooting will be investigated by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Police have not identified the subject who was killed or the officer involved.
