A Florida deputy was killed and two others are hospitalized with injuries following an “ambush” shooting overnight at a home in Lake County, authorities said.
Deputies with the Lake County Sheriff’s Office responded to a home around 8 p.m. Friday after receiving calls about a disturbance.
Sheriff Peyton Grinnell said someone at the scene told the deputies they needed to go to a nearby home because “that’s where there was a problem happening.”
When deputies arrived at the second home, they saw that a back door was kicked in and heard a commotion inside, the sheriff said at a news conference early Saturday.
The deputies were met with a “hail of gunfire” after entering the home, Grinnell said.
