Trenton is my town. Two officers confirmed dead as well as the shooter. No official word yet, but rumor going around that it happened in the little Chinese restaurant in town. Shooter walked in and shot the officers and then himself. This may be bs, but it’s whats going around right now. No matter how it happened, it’s terrible. Prayers to the families of the officers.

I was heading through going back to Williston (my home town) I’d say about 15min after it happened. Just aweful.

I just retired and considered this area to relocate.  Looked like a nice little place with low crime, peace and quite.

No place is safe anymore.

RIP Deputies.

Being reported by Fox:

I don't understand the comments section.  Maybe I'm more sensitive because it is "local."

Is any news organization identifying the shooter?

Always terrible to hear these stories.  Prayers to the families and friends of those officers.

not the sort of thing you expect to happen here in North Central Florida.  Prayers for the officer's family.  This is a real tragedy.

Still no word on the shooter, the reason for the shooting.

This was a message. Years ago it would be for the cops to back off the drug take, now I'm not so sure it's just the corrupt cops getting greedy.

Seriously doubt it. Gilchrist County is mostly farming, small towns, doubt it was drugs.
Neighbours say killer was a hermit type rarely seen outside his house.

Uncalled for.  Thought like this are why we have some many damn funerals for copy’s.  I hate hearing bag pipes.  It usually means we’re burying one of my brother or sisters.
