The anchor on Fox News was just interviewing the Polk County Sheriff. Suddenly, the Sherrif said there were "hundreds" of shots. Then he said he had to go.

The dead deputy was a good friend of my brother in law.

Is this the Jamaican cop killer?

[Jonah Johansen]

They need to investigate an make sure none of the officers involved in killing the perpetrator had any unused rounds in their weapon.

Please relay condolences and congrats to the officers who avenged his senseless murder.

LAKELAND, Fla. — Florida authorities may have found the "dangerous" gunman who shot two sheriff's deputies, killing one of them, FOX News has learned.

What's with the "dangerous" in quotes crap???

SO GLAD HE IS DEAD. MY BROTHER JUST CALLED AND SAID CNN BREAKING NEWS SAID HE WAS OUT IN THE BUSHES AND RAISED ONE HAND AND THEY COULD SEE HE HAD A GUN IN THE OTHER HAND (45 CALIBER GUN THAT BELONGED TO ONE OF THE OFFICERS HE SHOT) SO THEY SHOT HIM.

The Polk Sheriff's Department shot and killed the Deputy's murderer. I just heard a blurb on the news and don't have many details. But it looks like this guy's got the dirtnap he deserved.

Excellent news!

I must say I'm saddened to see Samuel L. Jackson meet his end in this manner. I almost didn't recognize him with that goofy hair.

[camle]

if what you post is true, then it won't be long before the loony left claims that the mean nasty old po-lice murdered the perp in the act of surrendering.

frankly I think he got what he deserved, but watch for the reaction of the libs.

game set match........
I can only hope he suffered,trapped like the scum he was, I hope he had nightmares of hundreds of angry people closing in on him....that his last few hours of life were filled with fear.
I know I have upset many here at FR with my comments......
but scum like this deserve no less, now all thats left is to dig a hole..........and to console and honor the deputy's family and all that knew him

I never dreamed it would be me
My name for all eternity
Recorded here at this hallowed place
Alas, my name, no more my face
 
"In the line of duty" I hear them say
My family now the price will pay
My folded flag stained with their tears
We only had those few short years
 
The badge no longer on my chest
I sleep now in eternal rest
My sword I pass to those behind
And pray they keep this thought in mind
 
I never dreamed it would be me
And with heavy heart and bended knee
I ask for all here from the past
Dear God, let my name be the last
