LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) — Two Florida sheriff’s deputies were seriously wounded and the man who shot them was killed when a gunfight erupted at a public park, according to the sheriff. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd praised his deputies as heroes, saying they were shot while trying to pull an uncooperative man from his car after he refused commands to get out on his own. They spotted the vehicle early Saturday in a county park after it had closed for the night. Judd told reporters Saturday that preliminary information from investigators indicated the slain man shot first. “He asked for a gunfight, we gave him a gunfight,” the sheriff said. “And he’ll never be in another gunfight again, because he’s dead.” Lt. Chad Anderson was hospitalized in critical but stable condition after a bullet passed through his arm and entered his chest, Judd said. Deputy Craig Smith was in stable condition in intensive care after being shot four times in the right arm, according to the sheriff. |
