HCSO Deputy killed

[329of1k]

For those of you who may not know and are not from the Tampa Bay area, Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office lost a veteran of their force at approx. 1:30 AM this morning.
Deputy Ron Harrison was sitting at a traffic light when a truck pulled up beside him and opened fire. Apparently Deputy Harrison attempted to drive himself to a very nearby hospital but due to his injuries was unable to make it there. It is said that he took 2 bullets to the left side of his chest and his injuries were lethal and he only had moments to live.
HCSO made contact with the shooter and eventually ended up using snipers to end the stand off and the shooter's life.
When all is said and done HCSO lost a great law enforcement officer as did the community he served.
Being a firefighter/paramedic in Hillsborough County makes this difficult as we work closely with all law enforcement agencies and feel their loss and pain.
Please, if you pray, do so for the family and HCSO family as they are in extreme grief on this very sad day.

My God, this is awful. I will keep Ron, his family and the HCSO family in my prayers. My son is a LEO and I pray that he gets home safely every day.

From certain accounts, the POS that shot Ron was spouting off Aryan brotherhood rhetoric......

I've known Ron since he was a rookie here. We worked together, trained together, fought together and bitched together.

He was a good troop

Never worked for him but I recall when he left and returned. He has worked for everything he's achieved

Even now, when I saw him last, he was still the same old Ron...still waiting to retire......

God bless you my friend...you've served well and earned your untimely rest.

If there's any good to this, it's the POS that shot him will never see a court date!!! Now THATS justice

RIP my friend...RIP

Yep, one of my buddies works for PBSO and wored the traffic detail for the Broward Sgts. funeral.

That was such a waste He had backup coming....and didn't wait...

The other one, also in Broward, turned his back on a violator who just happened to be operating a stolen vehicle.

As of today, he has taken a turn for the worse...and we may be doing this all over again

Stay safe out there.....
