Summary
A Florida deputy’s life was saved by sheer luck and training as a violent ambush unfolded — a suspect opened fire on officers, wounding two before being fatally shot. The suspect, Chris Machowski, had previously been convicted of a felony and had held a woman hostage overnight. When deputies arrived to arrest him, he attacked with gunfire, injuring one in the face and another in the neck — both later stabilized and grateful to be alive. The sheriff hailed the officers’ bravery, calling the incident a tragic but heroic end to Machowski’s “reign of terror.” Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
