T. PETERSBURG - Three law enforcement officers were shot this morning – a U.S. Marshal and two St. Petersburg police officers – in the 3700 block of 28th Avenue South, police said.
A suspected gunman is barricaded in a home at 3726 28th St. S., and police are trying to negotiate with his family members. He is still shooting at police, officers said.
One of the injured officers had been in the home as well, but an armored vehicle knocked down the door and the officer was evacuated. That officer has been taken to Bayfront Medical Center.

Sarah Palin’s fault?
TEA party’s fault?
President Bush’s fault?
All of the above?
I’d put that number much higher, personally.
St. Pete is the definition of cesspool!
The policemen are going to Bayfront Medical? That’s one VERY NICE hospital!
We lost two in Miami Thursday, the funeral is this morning (streets closed for the family) and they just heard about this shooting.
4 in Detroit, 2 shot in Washington at a WalMart. It’s open season on cops.
I checked this morning and still don’t see a name for the shooter in Detroit.

Yes, I know this isn't Pima County. I'm going on the assumption he can't help himself...
Shut up, son. Just shut up.
Unreal, isn’t it?
Detroit— Police today identified the gunman who walked into a police precinct Sunday afternoon and opened fire with a shotgun, injuring four officers before return gunfire took his life.
Detroit Police Chief Ralph Godbee identified the man as 38-year-old Lamar Moore. Moore entered the 6th Precinct on the city’s northwest side about 4:30 p.m. and shot Cmdr. Brian Davis, in charge of the precinct, Officer David Anderson, Sgt. Ray Saati and Sgt. Carrie Schulz.

Regardless of shooters political/mental history...prayers for the families of our unappreciated law enforcement folks.
Crime against our cops is not a video game or Hollywood movie,folks, but REALITY.
Sorry for the rant..
I understand the perp listened to a lot of talk radio. /s
Now there’s a name for the detroit shooter.
38-year-old Lamar Moore.
What are the odds he’s a illegal. Like the one that killed the two cops in Fl. last week.
As with everything the left does, it's the good intentions that they want, and never take the blame for the actual actions.
Was just about to ping you..see you’re here.
