FL Man Kills Two Police Officers
A routine arrest turned tragic Monday:
A Florida man shot two police officers during a shootout after he barricaded himself in the attic of a house Monday morning.
Officers arrived to arrest the man, "someone we wanted to get off the streets," they said, for aggravated battery.
But he had locked himself in the attic. When the officers entered, he started shooting, and 100 rounds were fired before he was in custody.
"Who expects to walk into a house and get gunfire from the attic?" the St. Petersburg police chief said.
Later Monday, police found the shooter's slain body in the home. The two fallen officers were the latest lives lost in a string of police shootings the past few days, including the fatal shooting of four officers in a Detroit police precinct office on Sunday.
