Polk Deputies Involved In Fatal Overnight Shooting

LAKELAND - Two Polk County Sheriff's deputies shot and killed a man who pointed a 9-mm pistol at them outside an apartment near Lakeland early this morning. The deputies fired eight to 12 rounds at Carlos Torres-Ramos, 38, when he aimed a semi-automatic pistol at them…

…After the gunfire, Torres-Ramos went back in the apartment that only seconds earlier had been cleared of a woman and three children, ranging from 9 to 13 years old. A SWAT team entered the apartment and found Ramos dead, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said.

…Ramos has faced weapons, drug and domestic violence charges in Puerto Rico, Judd said.

Here is the long and short of it in this video.

It seems that many in the drug trade these days have a sort of Scarface thing going on. Puerto Rico has many violent criminals, and I addressed this in an earlier commentary. Here is a quote from it:

This video shows joint operation by the FBI/National Guard/PRPD as they sweep public housing projects around the island of Puerto Rico. These public housing projects are so dangerous that police do not enter with anything less then a small army of highly trained operators.
