Foley Police Officer Maurice Wiley is on administrative leave. Foley Police officials say he was off duty when the officer shot a Century, Florida man in self defense. Authorities say the suspect, who is white, was hurling racial slurs at the officer, who is black, and approached him with a knife. The incident happened at 2:30 Saturday morning.

Amid the Sunday football ritual, the small crowd of regulars at Boomerzzz bar in Pensacola can't stop talking about the recent shooting.

“My jaw dropped, of course I wanted to know if it had to do with anyone we know, and it did involve one person who is a regular here,” says bartender Jen Coffey. She says Maurice Wiley's a good customer, known around here as “Reese” and she didn't even know he's a cop.

“He's a good guy, comes in, gets his drink he hangs out, always wants his popcorn,” says Coffey.
She says nothing like what happened Saturday morning's ever happened there before. Regulars say this all comes as a surprise because they consider Boomerzzz what they like to call a "family bar."

“Basically coming up for someone to talk to, friendship, interact with,” says regular customer Nancy Taylor.
