Two deputies returned fire, striking the suspect in the legs several times. One of the deputies was struck by a pellet in the leg but was not seriously injured, according to officials.

maybe the same idiot that was waving one around in traffic a couple days ago that got away.
Tom, what is the rest of the story, such as the name of the suspect?
That information can’t be that hard to find out?!
Wtf shoot a bb gun at the cops
Send both deputies back to the range for additional training. The asshole suspect should be in the morgue this am, not the hospital. Yep here goes, when the jerk gets out of hospital, hangem than shootem, case solved and closed.
…and if the deputies killed him, you would be the first to scream, the should have to wound.
Moral to the story: Don’t take a pellet gun to a REAL GUN FIGHT!
Talk about stupid.
Well, that’s one stupid way to get shot. I guess I’ll have to ask the question, “WHY”?? But I would have the same question for most of the violent perps I see in the news in the Pasco/Hernando area.
What happened to the other comments that were posted on this story (mine included?) Did sheriff Al get upset?
