“Our Sheriff’s Office family is still reeling from the shock of this unthinkable tragedy,” Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said in a statement. “My prayers for strength and comfort are with the families and loved ones of these deputies, and every member of Team HCSO affected by this painful loss. Violence is never a solution, and I urge any employee who is dealing with a crisis to take advantage of the many resources our agency has created over the past several years which include Peer Support, Chaplains, and a clinical psychologist. Help is just a phone call away.”
