Okaloosa County Sheriff's Deputy Anthony Forgione was shot and killed Tuesday morning as he tried to apprehend a man who escaped from the hospital. His shooter is also dead.

Forgione was 33 years old and had two daughters, 5 and 10. Thursday would have marked his three-year anniversary with the Sheriff's Office. He'd previously worked for the Fort Walton Beach Police Department.

"He told them he had a shot gun and he would use it," Nicholson said. The SRT and negotiators got no further response and went into the home about 6 a.m. Tuesday. Rohlman shot Forgione who was later pronounced dead at the Fort Walton Beach Medical Center.

That's so sad :sad:
It's always such a downer to hear a fellow emergency service provider killed in the line of duty.
Prays from our station are with his family, friends and coworkers.

I just don't understand how someone could shoot at the police... Not very smart. Someone out there to protect and serve puts down his life in the line of duty. Makes me respect him a lot. I hope his kids can grow up proud of their daddy! :sad:
