    Release from Gilchrist County Sheriff's Office:

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ON BEHALF SHERIFF BOBBY SCHULTZ AND THE GILCHRIST COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE:

    At approximately 3:00pm this afternoon, two Gilchrist County Deputy Sheriffs were shot and killed in the Ace China restaurant in downtown Trenton, after a suspect walked up to business and shot both deputies through the window. As fellow deputies responded to the scene, they found the shooter deceased outside the business, and both Deputy Sheriffs where they died of their wounds.

    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, and will be speaking to the media at 7:00pm EDT.

    A Media Staging Area has been established in front of Duke Energy (not related to the incident) at 1532 East Wade Street in Trenton, Florida. Requests for footage of the scene will be accommodated and updated briefing times provided as soon as they are available. Officials from the Levy County Sheriff’s Office, the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and the State Attorney’s Office have all responded to the area to assist.

    I have had numerous conversations with seasoned officers. It seems one of the hardest things to get people...even new recruit officers to understand is every day there are monsters on the street who are willing to kill them just for putting on the uniform. And for what the uniform stands for.

    Prayers for the Deputies families.

    Prayers for the Deputies families.

    It’s also becoming increasingly difficult to find qualified candidates willing to put on that uniform. These things will hurt our communities in the not-so-distant future.

    First and foremost, prayers for the family, friends, and fellow LEOs. Secondly this is not the touristy part of Florida or the Havana North part of Florida. This is the redneck part of Florida, west of Gainesville and southeast of Tallahassee. Waiting for the rest of the story on this one.
