Franklin County Municipal Court documents obtained by WBNS report that Jones pulled out a gun and fired it at an officer. That’s when a SWAT officer returned fire, hitting Jones.
Jones was taken to a nearby hospital and is expected to survive, according to police.
WBNS reported no officers were injured.
As News Center 7 reported Tuesday morning, Jones was charged with murder and abduction of his 13-year-old daughter, Keimani Latigue.
Latigue was found dead inside a home in Toledo after she was reported missing.

A warrant was issued for Jones, who also goes by Darnell Ogletree.
