A veteran Hillsborough County deputy killed three family members, including his granddaughter, then broadcast a heart-wrenching radio message to his colleagues before ultimately killing himself, Sheriff Chad Chronister announced this morning.
With "an extremely heavy heart," the sheriff recounted the sequence of events that ultimately ended with the suicide outside Plant City High School.
According to Chronister, it was just after 6:30 a.m. when Deputy Terry Strawn spoke up on the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office main radio channel to say that he had "caused harm to his family," provided details about two crime scene locations, and then said he planned to commit suicide at the school.
As the communications supervisor tried to talk Strawn out of it, three other deputies caught up to him outside the school. They, too, tried to intervene, but failed.

His daughter.
His granddaughter.
He doesn't want to live, they don't get to live.
It doesn't say it was a firearm, but dollars to donuts, it was a firearm.
Just a normal Mass Murder. Nothing to say. No insight forthcoming. No measures will be taken.
I'm growing numb to this. America is numb to this.

men killing women is one of the oldest stories on the planet. guns make it easy.
Yes, and the people most likely to be depressed by events of late are those who I think would tend to have more guns.

(6,831 posts)He decides to end his life, but not before he plays god and decides who else gets to live and who doesn't. This sickens me. The entire gun-humping, trigger-happy crowd of macho men sickens me.
I hope he rots in Hell.
