The shooting of three Escambia County deputies on Friday was one of several incidents in the past few weeks in which deputies have been shot at, including one in North Escambia last week.

September 29 –  Suspect Michael Lee, 21, was shot and killed by deputies at the Motel 6 on Pensacola Boulevard after he opened fire at deputies Jason Ates and Jennifer Lovley Gandy. Ates was hit in the upper thigh.

October 13 — Deputy Stephen Schaff took cover and did not return fire when a woman shot at him from her house on Walters Court. She told the deputy that she would “blow his brains out”. The woman, Alucia Dykes, 62, surrendered.

October 27 — Deputy Bobby Cook was shot at after a domestic violence suspect fled into a wooded area on York Road near Northview High School. Cook was not injured and did not return fire. Marvin Anthony Haynie, 46, was taken into custody on domestic violence charges on October 28 on the Poarch Creek Indian reservation north of Atmore. He has not been charged in connection with the shooting incident.

October 29 — Deputies Jeremy Cassady (pictured), Chad Brown and Sam Parker were shot during a home invasion and hostage situation on Baywind Circle in Pensacola. Brown and Parker were released later that day from the hospital. Cassady continues to fight for his life at Sacred Heart Hospital. Jackie Rosenbloom, 45, was also shot in the incident; she remains hospitalized in fair condition.

    Each and every one of us has the duty to change this. It starts tomorrow at the voting booth. We MUST vote in candidates who stand strong on Peace and Justice. It’s high time we hold those politicians and judges responsible. Find them accountable! If they don’t do what we want and need…toss them out. It’s long over due that we fully support those first responders and law enforcement officers who day in and day out serve and protect us.

    VOTE

    The deputies need a raise!

    We haven’t seen a raise in years, and we are paying more for benefits. We still do not complain and answer calls like the ones listed above almost every night.
