Overview

• Judge Daniel McDonald sentenced Damien Jackson after a jury convicted him on 17 counts, including multiple attempted first-degree murder charges.
• Investigators said Jackson pulled a hotel fire alarm at the AmericInn in Windsor on Jan. 4, 2024, donned body armor, climbed a firetruck and opened fire on responding officers.
• The district attorney’s office said Jackson live-streamed the shooting on X and had additional firearms and ballistic vests when he was arrested.
• Officers used a shield to rescue two women trapped in a nearby vehicle, and the district attorney called it a miracle that no one was hurt.
• The first five convictions will be served consecutively as individual-victim counts, and Jackson later disrupted sentencing with threats that led the court to cut his microphone.
