A Florida suspect was killed during a pursuit by deputies on Sunday after “waiting” and opening fire on the officers, striking one deputy three times, authorities said.Zion Bostick, 23, was allegedly trying to break into cars just before 7 p.m. in unincorporated St. Petersburg when deputies were alerted and began to pursue the suspect, the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office said.
“The suspect was waiting for them and as the K-9 and the handler cleared the building, that’s when the suspect shot at the deputy,” St. Petersburg Police Chief Anthony Holloway told FOX13 Tampa.
K-9 Corporal Matthew Aitken, 40, and his K-9, Taco, were accompanied by Sgt. Jake Viano, 49, as they tracked Bostick into a fenced backyard, where officials say the suspect was “waiting.”
Police said the deputies followed the suspect and spotted him trying to hide behind a corner of a house.
Bostick opened fire, striking Aitken three times before shooting at Viano, officials said.

Be one of those rifles behind every blade of grass…It’s coming. Watch.
You could really “Savage” some varmints with that plinker. “…I’ll be needing it for squirrels and sech…” (ht2 Jamie)
Wouldn’t Guthrie be counted as a DOT?
Still, a “T”, which is always a good “T”hing.
