http://www.wogx.com/news/2-dep...-in-gilchrist-county Authorities say two deputies were shot and killed at a restaurant in Trenton, Florida.
There is an active crime scene in front of the Ace China restaurant, at the corner of S. Santa Fe Ave. and State Road 26.
According to the Gilchrist County County Sheriff's Office, the alleged gunman walked up to the restaurant around 3 p.m. on Thursday and shot both the deputies through the window. As fellow deputies responded to the scene, they found the alleged shooter deceased outside the business.
"At this point, it remains an active criminal investigation with no apparent motive or indications as to why this tragedy occurred. Sheriff Bobby Schultz has been on scene throughout the afternoon with his deputies and their families, notifying additional loved ones," said Sergeant Brett Rhodenizer, with the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott stated he had been briefed on the shooting and that the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is assisting in the investigation.
"I’ve offered any state support they may need," Gov. Scott said.
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is among others in the law enforcement community who have offered their condolences.
"Prayers are with their families as they mourn the devastating loss of their loved ones. May their families, friends and fellow officers find peace and comfort during this very difficult time,” she said.
Trenton is in northern Florida, about 35 miles west of Gainesville.

Story I read is the deputies were able to return fire.
Still early so lots of speculation.

Glad he's dead, but a nasty liver shot would have been preferable IMO.
