"This situation went from a civil order of removal to our officer being shot and killed, this is senseless. Attacks on law enforcement of this nature must stop, this is absolutely ridiculous and my heart and prayers go out to the family of this fallen deputy."
"99.9 times out of ten on a civil notice it's a pretty peaceful venture but in this situation it was not. The deputy was a father who leaves behind a wife who is 4 months pregnant."
