The two Gilchrist County sheriff’s deputies who were fatally shot while eating at a Chinese restaurant in Florida on Thursday afternoon did not have the chance to return fire during the ambush attack, police confirmed to reporters during a Friday press conference.
“We have no information right now that our officers were able to return fire,” Lt. Scott Tummond, Levy County Sheriff Department’s public information officer, said Friday. “They were on duty and they were in uniform. Those two heroes walked in there to have a meal together and they were ambushed.”
