There are very early reports out of Florida that two deputies were shot and killed, and it might have been an ambush attack.
https://twitter.com/PDNotify/status/987073497473142784My heart breaks with the tragic news of two Gilchrist County deputies that were senselessly killed today while in the line of duty. My deepest condolences and prayers are with their families as they mourn the devastating loss of their loved ones. https://t.co/8oFSbMIDRw

Seems like a very rural area:
Gun violence strikes in Trenton, FL — population is barely 2000 people, w/ 2 officers being ambushed and killed. We have to make it harder for bad people to get weapons... Gun violence effects everyone and we need substantial change. Too many lives lost in our great nation.
