“The monster we encountered this evening is responsible for not only injuring our deputy but also killing his own mother and father,' Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said.
A Florida teenager fatally shot his parents and injured a sheriff’s deputy before being killed during a standoff with authorities.
When they arrived, deputies found the suspected gunman, Christos Alexander Themelis, Jr., 19, and his mother Rebecca outside of the home, the release states. The sheriff’s office said the suspect then shot his mother and began shooting at five deputies, one of whom suffered a gunshot wound to the leg.
According to the sheriff’s office, the wounded deputy, identified as 26-year-old Shane McGough, was expected to survive after undergoing surgery the following day. "Our deputies responded to a chaotic scene and immediately put themselves in harm's way to protect our community. Without our deputy's quick and skillful response, an entire neighborhood would have been in danger."
