February 14, 201412 yr I'm surprised this hasn't made it's way here yet, knowing how many Central Florida Locals we have on the board. Anyways, there was an OCSO deputy who was reporting on call of car break-ins in this upper-middle class neighborhood (some of you locals may know this as the gated community across the street from that giant Mormon Temple on Apopka-Vineland) early on Tuesday morning. Apparently, there was a foot chase after Deputy Pine tried to apprehend the suspect, who shot Deputy Pine dead in a back yard. The Orange County Fire Rescue tried to revive him, and took him to ORMC, but he could not be revived. Th suspect was found dead later after apparently shooting himself. The girlfriend of the suspect, who was with him at the time eventually got caught by the OCSO, and is facing burglary, robbery, and possibly soon murder charges too. The suspects were transients and had wants for them up in Baltimore, after not checking in with his Probation officer after being released from prison after robbing the same bank teller twice.http://www.wftv.com/news/news/breaking-news/orange-county-deputy-shot-investigating-suspicious/ndKbP/http://www.wftv.com/news/news/local/fellow-deputies-neighbors-grief-stricken-after-ora/ndLFq/http://www.foxbaltimore.com/news/features/top-stories/stories/baltimore-bank-robber-skips-town-shoots-deputy-fl-after-string-robberies-25427.shtml#.Uv4eX4U4Pm0 His funeral is on Saturday.http://www.wesh.com/news/central-florida/orange-county/funeral-for-orange-county-deputy-scott-pine-to-be-held-saturday/24441904 Very sad. I understand that the deputy also leaves behind a Wife and 3 kids too. There is also a fund set up for his family. I hear officers from all over the country, and possibly Canada too will be in attendance at his funeral. [img]http://www.lcpdfr.com/cops/forum/crimestats/user/3782/sig.jpg[/img]
