Florida sheriff deputy kills family and then himself near a school
A sheriff's deputy announced that he gunned down his wife, daughter and grandaughter over his police radio, before taking his own life in front of his colleagues.
Terry Strawn admitted on the main channel of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's radio system that he had killed his relatives before providing directions to where two of the bodies could be found, sheriff Chad Chronister told a news conference.
The bodies of his wife Theresa, 54, 32-year-old daughter, Courtney, and 6-year-old granddaughter, Londyn, were later discovered at two addresses by investigators. The 58-year-old had used his service revolver to kill them.
Mr Chronister said Strawn who was named Officer of the Year for the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office in 2009, then said he was going to kill himself at Plant City High School.
“The supervisor immediately got on air and did everything they could to talk him down, calm him down, and bring some calm to the situation,” he said, adding that they implored him: "'Don’t do something that’s a permanent solution to a temporary problem.’"
