CRESTVIEW, Fla. – Two north Florida sheriff's deputies were shot and killed Saturday by a suspect who was later fatally shot by deputies, authorities said.

The shooting occurred around 1 p.m. when the two Okaloosa County deputies went to Shoal River Sporting Clays and Shooting Center in response to a call, said Michele Nicholson, a sheriff's spokeswoman.

Authorities say the suspect shot both deputies and took off toward neighboring Walton County, where he was shot and killed by sheriff's deputies.

Oh man...more and more people coming unglued. What is wrong with so many people? (Rhetorical question...)

Somebody ping Janet Napolireno.

The perp is probably one of those crazy right-wing wacko Christian Conservative tea partiers.

Do we know he came unglued or was he a well-known bad person who finally came out on the short end of the stick?

Always had evil people.

More ammo for the gun grabbers. The Commie D’RATS love this kind of stuff. Dead bodies to exploit for the ‘RAT party’s political gain.

This is the county I live in. As of this time there is no known motive for this incident. This is the the third deputy killed in Okaloosa County this year. Prior to this year no County Deputy was killed on duty.

Whenever the MSM start talking about
“high powered assault rifles”, I always think about how little they know about semi auto shotguns. Slugs seem to leave the largest holes in the targets at the range.

The widow of Sgt Kevin Kight in Panama City Beach, FL is my dear friend. When he was shot and killed, his little boy was only 4 yrs old. It is so so tragic. Prayers going up for the families and for your community.

Agreed! If I got a call for a disturbance at a shooting sports center, my AR-15 and 9 of my mags would be coming with me out of the car. More lessons to be learned for the average patrol officer.

RIP Deputies!
