Quote:Two sheriff’s deputies have been killed in Florida — gunned down in broad daylight — during a suspected ambush, according to authorities.

The cops were eating at a Chinese restaurant in the city of Trenton, about 35 miles west of Gainesville, when the shooter walked up and started blasting through a window, officials said in a statement.

The gunman shot both deputies dead and then took his own life. Officials said no one else was injured. The incident happened around 3 p.m.

The cops involved were deputies with the Gilchrist County Sheriff’s Office.

“As fellow deputies responded to the scene, they found the shooter deceased outside the business, and both Deputy Sheriffs where they died of their wounds,” officials said.

The sheriff’s office had initially released a statement on their social media pages Thursday, saying there were “no suspects at large.” While they didn’t offer any other details, the Holmes County Sheriff’s Office was able to provide some information on their Facebook page.

“About an hour ago, two deputies with the Gilchrist County Sheriff’s Office were shot and killed in a suspected ambush,” officials said. “Please keep the families of these deputies, Sheriff Bobby Schultz, and the rest of their law enforcement family in your prayers.”

Other law enforcement agencies in the surrounding area and across Florida were also offering their condolences on Thursday evening as word spread about the shooting.

Ho hum, more gun violence. Got anything new and different to report?

Without knowing anything but whats in that article I bet this turns out the shooter is a white male and one of the deputies was poking the shooter's wife. The other one was just in the wrong place at the wrong time

Statement from Sheriff Bobby Schultz:

Quote:“What do you expect happens when you demonize law enforcement to the extent it’s been demonized? Every type of hate, every type of put down you can think of, the only thing these men were guilty of was protecting you and me. They just wanted to get something to eat. And to do their jobs,”

His post shows he could care less about the two dead officers. The left has demonized the police and these terrible attacks murdering police are the fruits of that hate.

There's nothing in your first response to this post to indicate anything at all like that.

Bull! You were trying to make an anti gun political point and using the death of 2 police officers as the political bait. Everyone here sees through you...

He is full of hate for police. It was obvious in his first post.

It's tragic whether they're police or civilians. Are you going to also post every time civilians are killed with guns? You will be busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest.

I will if I come across them. Earlier in the week I posted about two teens shooting a homeless man 12 times for fun.

He doesn't have time to give a minute by minute replay of the liberal eutopia that is Chicago.

But since you made it about gun control. Wonder if the shooter was a NRA member and if the gun was purchased legally...
