I know this deputy and his family. Please keep them in your prayers. Yes he did a great job by protecting and serving, and I’m very thankful that he wasn’t injured. Nevertheless this is a tramatic experience and he will no doubt have a stressful time adjusting to the fact that while he did his job he had to use leathal force. (as I’m sure anyone would)
Thank you Deputy, we are praying for you and your family.
Always somebody somewhere that needs to be shot! Good job ECSO!
Glad deputy took care of business and came out fine..ending for a criminal going back over 20 yrs.
Great job deputy!
+1 for the good guys
God bless you Escambia County Deputies.
On the Money Warf Rat.
Glad to see the Deputy is OK. Like many of his ilk, he went in and took care of an unknown situation, while many of his “yet to appear critics” were headed for cover.
