Seeing lots of idiots speeding on the roads, whether for fun or from the police is a danger and also people who road-rage, using their cars as a weapon, is a threat to our society. What's so crazy and shouldn't be possible is the fact that you can acquire a car on the streets so easily, just ask the Kia Boys!

He is a well-built and strong adult but no one is scared of him. It is vitally important that someone connect this woman with a support group specific to TBI - please. Members of the group will be able to put her in touch with therapists and other support where she can learn what brain functions his TBI has impaired and how to deal with it. If one of her close neighbors with whom she is friends can go with her to meet with the group or a specially trained resource, perhaps they can detail the woman's situation and stress that because of her age it is important that a specialized residential place be found for her son.

Good, knowledgable officer who is explaining this incident extremely well.

[@arleenjtobar-blanco6882]

Why wasn't the Mom immediately taken into safety? Doesn't quite make sense that enforcement officers would just let her stand there, totally exposed. Her death could have been avoided had they taken her out of harm's way IMMEDIATELY!!

Thank God the deputy is going to be ok 🙏🏼 What an awful experience for all of them 😢

[@edwinsantana3056]

So he killed his mother right in front of the police?????SMH

[@doitaljosh]

I live right across Ehrlich, roughly 1000 feet away from the scene and I heard the gun shots and saw the police activity shortly afterwards. This is harrowing news to hear. My heart goes out to the family and neighbors.

"A 19-year-old Tampa"

[@corycripmaster]

I was wondering what a 19 year old Tampa is.

[@Music._Grove]

@@corycripmaster Ha!

[@SpecialOperator]

​@@corycripmaster it's the city. It officially became a city 19 years ago. Therefore it's the 19 year old Tampa

Parents are not doing their job. Kids doesn’t have attention,limits, discipline 😢

[@OuttaasiteNdynomite]

Or maybe it's the opposite. Too much harsh discipline

[@Emmy-J]

Don't judge you don't know their story

[@SniffaThumb]

...agree. Sheriff Chronister can attest to that in regards to his own son.

[@hudsondonnell444]

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

That he was ONLY able to unalive himself, his mother, his father, AND injure an officer...is really searching for a silver lining.

[@brewcitymike1]

And he STILL had access to a gun...'Merica!

[@janeentumbao8690]

Yup. Who knew people in a red state experience the same bs that blue states do?

[@t.d108]

Reflects PROFOUND LACK of appropriate social services in Florida. The kid obviously had severe mental illness. Shame on Florida!

[@terryfriend16]

Sheriff. Listen as he speaks without talking points (he's holding them, doesn't need them) because he knows the case, it's heartfelt. Bless you. Happy Father's Day, somehow, some way. My love friends, from DC.

[@relentless305]

Some kids need special discipline

[@OuttaasiteNdynomite]

Some parents as well. Don't leave the parents blameless. It takes two to tango and in families with male children the mother is the default parent in the dance who stands by watching the tango between the father and son until she has no choice but to get involved and it's never a good ending

[@diannemc3179]

Perfect example of the social media raising kids.

[@diegojines-us9pc]

by the way. FL is the 3rd highest state for someone to get killed by a gun, just behind Texas and CA who are twice as big.

[@janeentumbao8690]

And Florida is a RED state. Yup. Keep blaming the democrats for all the crime.

[@Hcate17]

Prayers 🙏 This is devastating. Hard to process such hard situation.

[@mikeskorpion8366]

"Oh. We had great response time of 3 minutes" and what happened after that? "We watched a mother get executed in front of us, then we got shot at". Are you okkay? " yeah, 5 of us got hit and we returned fire". And after that? "We waited for the robot to go in and see if the father bled out while we were taking cover and tended to our wounded". "But we got here in 3 minutes". Thank god you saved everyone, I mean saved yourselves.

How does the sheriff even give suspect a chance for him to kill the mom within such tactical position as he said

[@physetermacrocephalus2209]

I know he is the sherrif and he has to give a certain impression but claiming that inflicting harm or the use of viol. is never justified sounds absolutley ridiculous ane utterly immature especially comming from a man who may be armed. The truth is viol. saves lives every day and has prevented or ended some of the most horrible things throughout history. Im tired of being spoken to like a 13 year old by our government just because the lowest common denomenator of society needs to be treated like children.

I'm very impressed by this Sheriff's communication skills. Spokespeople are not always good speakers...oddly. He seems to be a very good leader for his Deputies. I hope the injured Deputy makes a full and speedy recovery.💙
