BROOKSVILLE, Fla. - The suspect who barricaded himself inside a Brooksville home after a shooting and barn fire has been shot by Hernando County deputies, the sheriff said.
This comes after two victims were taken to nearby trauma centers with gunshot wounds earlier Friday evening. Hernando County Sheriff Al Nienhuis said the suspect, identified as 64-year-old Steve Rosa, barricaded himself inside a home.
Deputies looking for Steve Rosa after shooting and fire in Brooksville Investigators began trying to get Rosa out of the home, but they said he refused to come out and did not acknowledge them.
That's when deputies went in to try and take him into custody, which led to two Hernando County deputies firing their weapons, Sheriff Nienhuis said.
