A Florida teenager murdered his parents execution style and shot a deputy during a police standoff before he was finally gunned down by authorities.
The violence unfolded Saturday night inside the Tampa home belonging to Christos Themelis, 51, his wife Rebecca, 48, and their 19-year-old son Christos Jr., according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
Christos Jr. got his hands on a gun and fatally shot his father inside their house.
Sheriff's deputies then received what they described as a frantic 911 call from Rebecca, who told dispatchers that her son had shot her husband. Dispatchers could hear the crackle of gunfire in the background.
When officers arrived on scene, they found Rebecca in the front yard with Christos Jr., who was armed with the gun.
Police body cam footage showed the dramatic standoff between deputies and Christos Jr. as the teen held his mom hostage. One of the deputies yelled at Christos Jr, "Stop reaching for your waistband!"
At some point, Christos Jr. pulled out the firearm and pumped a bullet into the back of his mother's head, killing her. Then he turned the gun on police, shooting Deputy Shane McGough in the leg.
The body cam footage captured Deputy McGough announcing that he was "hit," as well as being dragged to safety by his partner.
Several other deputies exchanged bullets with Christos Jr., who died in the shoot-out.
Deputy McGough was rushed to a local hospital, where he underwent surgery. Police said McGough was recovering, and in good spirits after the surgery.
Hillsborough County deputies were still trying to determine a motive for the bloodshed.
That kids sounds like a real brat!
Just kidding.

Guess we'll soon learn what new gun control laws the pols will pile on us.
News these days are FF's, until proven otherwise.
“execution style”. I really don’t care for these assclowns.
As long as Hillsborough County sicko judges keep tying the hands of law enforcement to not enforce the laws on the books and continue coddling criminals, this kind of horror will continue. Sheriff deputies responded to 911 calls of violence at this residence due to parents being beaten by their son repeatedly. The son should have been arrested indicted and jailed for assault. Instead, the only action taken by law enforcement was allegedly to “take his guns away from him”, but it looks like he had one hidden somewhere. The parent’s deaths are on the hands of Hillsborough County’s left-wing judges and prosecutors, who refuse to allow law enforcement to protect the lives of the law abiding populace in this county.
The 911 calls were received ten times since 2021.
The one time cops should have immediately started firing on the perp and they waited until he had executed his Mom to do so.
When will they ever learn that tomorrow is another day?
Kid should have been institutionalized a long time ago. But no, he has his civil rights.
GOOD!
Any kid who would hold his mom hostage and put a bullet in her brain cannot be allowed to survive. He will be a threat to EVERYONE around him. No one can take the risk of leaving him alive.
Actually, putting a bullet in the back of someone’s skull does qualify as *execution style* to me.
they’re so ungrateful nowadays
Well to be fair, they have an agenda to push and incidents to exploit. /sarc
wonder what kind of meds he was on and for how long
The house where this family lived is about two miles away from ours. You don’t need to orchestrate exotic “false flag” events with medicated adolescents when you already have in place prosecutors and judges who are committed to allowing criminality to run rampant and prosper and go unpunished. Hillsborough County is a corrupted left-wing cesspool. And an embarrassment to the DeSantis administration. The Governor needs to clean house in the courts here. This has gone on for far too long.
Tried. Convicted. Sentenced. Knelt down in front of the judge’s bench and have the bailiff unload a .45 in the back of the head right then and there.
These animals deserve no mercy.
criminality has to run rampant because the sherifs are too busy harassing normal people. have a long history here. have stories. can’t wait for the tsunami.
