Sheriff: 2 deputies hospitalized after deadly shootout with 'extremist' gunman
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said two of his deputies are alive "by the grace of God" after a deadly shootout with a gunman over the weekend. It began just before 12:30 a.m. Saturday, when Deputy Conover was patrolling Lakeland's Hunt Fountain Park — an area that's seen recent reports of teen burglaries.
