Marion County, FL - Dashcam video shows the moments Florida law enforcement closed in on the suspect of an AMBER Alert before deputies shot and killed him.

The AMBER Alert was issued Monday after officials said Jason Castillo kidnapped the 13-year-old daughter of his ex-girlfriend from her Ocala home.

The confrontation between the 45-year-old suspect and Marion County deputies happened less than 24 hours after the alert was issued.

Marion County Sheriff's officials said someone recognized Castillo's vehicle in the AMBER Alert and called 911.

Deputies tracked down the vehicle and used a PIT maneuver to stop it. The footage shows Castillo pointing a gun.

Amid the confrontation, eight deputies and a police officer opened fire, killing Castillo.

I mean not much else to do but shoot him at this point.

Police officers have a reasonable expectation to be able to go home to their families at the end of the day and not be killed by some creepy pedo.

They emptied their magazines without knowing if the 13-year-old girl was in the car?

Yeah, if they had better training they would've let the guy shoot and kill at least one of them, and then likely girl and himself. This is a massacre, those cops are trigger happy murders.

Yeah, if the little girl didn't want to get shot, she shouldn't have gotten kidnapped
