Florida deputy wounded, suspect killed during traffic stop, sheriff says
The wounded officer is expected to make a full recovery, according to the Brevard County Sheriff.
WEST MELBOURNE — A Florida deputy was wounded, and the man who shot him was killed during a traffic stop Monday afternoon, authorities said.
The confrontation occurred around 1 p.m. on a West Melbourne street near Interstate 95, Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey said in a video posted on Facebook. The wounded deputy was expected to make a full recovery.
A deputy pulled over a vehicle with three occupants and a two-month-old baby inside and was quickly joined by a second deputy, Ivey said. After a passenger in the back seat was asked the exit the vehicle, he pulled out a short-stock rifle and opened fire, striking one of the deputies in the leg, the sheriff said.
Both deputies returned fire, Ivey said. The man eventually ran over to one of the deputies and began to hit him with the butt of the rifle. The other deputy fired multiple times at the man, killing him.

Sounds like Florida Man’s anger issues are solved…..permanently.
Darn shame, he was turning his life around.
Yep. He was turning around…..with each shot from the officer’s gun. That is, until he wasn’t.
Why…why…WHY didn’t the Brevard County deputies first call Lebron, to ask for his advice???
Two more dirtbags taking a break from being a threat to decent folk. One of them for good. BZ to the Citizen.
That shorely be am a purty SR1911. Same picture that was in the article on the tack driver from yesterday. More proof that AW1Ed loves us and wants us to be happy.
Welp, another escort detail to the little big town today. Monday’s menu was the fried porked beast chop, fresh sliced ‘maters, smashed taters with brown gravy, cat headed biskets and Lacey Anne Johnny Cakes. I gots a coupla hours to make up my mind for today’s pickin’s. If the spapos shows up while I’m gone, tell him to phuque off.
Play nice!
“Play nice.”
With SPAPOS?! YGTBFWM!
Ok, ok, I’ll play nice with SPAPOS.
But just know that my idea of “play nice w/SPAPOS” is burying him up to his knees……head first.
Naw, Tox, Play Nice with one another. Last time I had to leave, I made mention of “Behave” and there was a lot of head scratching going on.
Spapos needs to go play Blind Man’s Bluff…in a minefield.
Wasn’t sure which Decatur it was until I started reading all the street names…sounded too familiar. Like Tom Hanks singing about it in Bachelor Party!!
Was expecting the Decatur homeowner to be booked on gun possession, forgot they can now defend themselves with permission.
