2 Florida deputies fatally shot in Gilchrist County
2018-04-20
RENTON, Fla. (WOGX FOX 51) - Two young deputies in Gilchrist County, Florida were murdered in broad daylight on Thursday afternoon. Investigators are calling it a senseless act of violence.

Sgt. Noel Ramirez, 29, and Deputy Taylor Lindsey, 25, were just sitting down for lunch at the Ace China restaurant in Trenton, Florida, when a lone gunman approached the window and fired two shots ‐ killing them instantly.

Bullet holes could be seen in the window where the man without a motive opened fire. They were ambushed with no chance to return fire, investigators say, murdered in cold blood. The gunman was found dead in the parking lot.

#3  'Trained' professionals choosing to sit in full view of the street rather than in the back from where they could watch the room and entrances.

Maybe they were surveilling the street.
Maybe they thought badges and uniforms protected them.
Maybe they thought crime took a lunchbreak.
Maybe they were just victims.

#2  "the man without a motive opened fire"

There's always some kind of motive. Even "crazy" is a motive. Ideology? Retaliation or vengeance? The man without a motive only fired two shots through the restaurant window? Head shots? No witnesses to the shooting, no reports on a description of the shooter? There are a lot of blanks in the story. Not much help to the public.

RIP officers.
