Bone-chilling video shows Florida man 'intentionally ambush' deputies by mowing cops down with car



An unsettling video shows the moment that a Florida man mowed down two deputies in an alleged "ambush" attack, according to police. The cops were critically injured, and one officer may need to have his leg amputated.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office stated that officers responded to a 911 call from a mother who said she was in fear of her son being violent. The mother allegedly told police that her son, Ralph Bouzy, was suffering from a mental health crisis.

Shortly before 8 a.m. on Thursday, officers arrived at the residence in Brandon, Florida. Deputies encountered Bouzy in the driver's seat of a car in the driveway of his home, according to a news release from the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office. Officers reportedly assured the 28-year-old Florida man that they were there to help. However, Bouzy refused to speak to the police and quickly drove away.

Bouzy drove back to the scene just minutes later in a Nissan Altima. Two deputies were standing beside a police SUV, and video shows Bouzy barrel into the deputies – pinning them to the patrol vehicle.

As the deputies were strewn on the pavement after suffering excruciating injuries, Bouzy calmly got out of his vehicle and walked toward another officer who was not hit by the vehicle. Police bodycam video shows Bouzy refusing to adhere to commands from the officers.

Police bodycam footage shows a deputy deploy a Taser on Bouzy, which causes him to fall to the pavement. Another officer apprehended the suspect while he was on the ground.

Bouzy was arrested and charged with three counts of attempted murder on a law enforcement officer.

Law enforcement noted that Bouzy has an extensive criminal history, with three felonies and 14 misdemeanors. In 2017, Bouzy was involved in a hit-and-run in which he punched a deputy in the face, according to WFLA.

"There is no other way to describe this other than an ambush," said Sheriff Chad Chronister. "Our deputies put their lives on the line every day to protect this community and what happened today makes me absolutely sick."

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said that he and his wife, Casey, are "praying for the deputies who were seriously injured during this ambush in Brandon."

"We don’t tolerate attacks on our law enforcement officers in Florida," DeSantis declared. "The coward who brutally attacked these deputies will be punished."

Corporal Carlos Brito, 39, and Deputy Manuel Santos, 31, suffered critical injuries and are receiving medical treatment at Tampa General Hospital.

Santos has a bilateral break in his leg with extensive ligament damage that will require surgery.

Brito’s injuries are so severe that his leg might have to be amputated. Brito's leg was crushed in between the two vehicles to the point that a piece of his femur bone was stuck in the car. A surgeon requested that the bone be dislodged from the vehicle and brought to the hospital to help save his leg.

Chronister said, "Deputy Brito is awake and surrounded by his family. The surgeons are monitoring his progress and continue to do everything possible to save his leg.”

"Corporal Brito and Deputy Santos came to work today committed to making a difference in their community," Chronister added. "Because of this man's deliberate and intentional actions, their lives, and their family's lives are changed forever."

Nail-biting video shows off-duty cop fire gun as he's mowed down by Jeep in his front yard; Alabama man charged with attempted murder



A heart-stopping video shows the moment that an off-duty police officer was mowed down by a Jeep in Alabama. The driver was charged with attempted murder in the apparent attack on the cop's front yard.

Around 5:17 p.m. on Tuesday, Decatur police officer Jack Brown noticed a man sitting in a black Jeep Wrangler outside his home in Decatur. Brown asked the driver if he needed any assistance, and the man began to curse at the cop, according to charging documents.

Pulse-pounding doorbell camera video showed Brown narrowly escape the Jeep from hitting him. The driver – later identified as Gregory Martin Hill – crashed into a tree.

Brown fell to the ground, but quickly recovered and sprinted up his driveway towards his home, as seen in the nail-biting video.

Hill ran up the driveway towards the house, but then retreated to his vehicle. Suddenly, Brown burst out of his front door armed with a gun.

According to the affidavit, Brown ordered Hill to get on the ground, but he did not comply.

Despite the handgun pointed at the driver, Hill backed the Jeep up into the road. The truck went out of view of the camera.

Unexpectantly, the Jeep sped towards Brown, who was standing in his front yard. The intense footage revealed the off-duty cop firing multiple shots at the Jeep as he was plowed by the front of the vehicle. Brown was slammed to the ground, and then Hill backed up and ran over the police officer's legs. None of the gunshots hit Hill.

Hill got out of the Jeep to confront Brown. However, the cop and a witness subdued Hill. Other officers arrived at the crime scene to arrest Hill.

Brown was taken to Huntsville Hospital and released later that night.

The Decatur Police Department said, "He is walking and doing well. He and his family would like to thank everyone for their messages and prayers."

Hill, 54, was initially charged with second-degree assault. However, the charges have been upgraded to attempted murder.

Morgan County Circuit Judge Charles Elliott set Hill’s bond at $1,000,000.

Decatur Police Department spokeswoman Irene Cardenas-Martinez said there is no apparent connection between Officer Brown and the suspect, according to Alabama.com.

Police investigate attempted murder of Maryland cop: Nearly 100 shots fired during Independence Day block party that preceded attack



The Wicomico County Sheriff's Office in Salisbury, Maryland, is conducting an investigation into the attempted murder of a police officer, according to WBOC-TV.

What are the details?

The incident took place early Monday morning when a suspect reportedly fired on an occupied patrol vehicle in Salisbury. Authorities said that a deputy inside the vehicle came under fire while responding to reports of shots being fired.

The station reported that the investigation of the incident revealed that a "large block party" celebrating Independence Day drew at least 200 attendees.

As the party progressed, authorities said an altercation broke out, prompting gunfire.

"An investigation of this scene revealed evidence that more than 100 shots were fired, although [authorities believe] most of them were celebratory for the holiday," the outlet reported.

Several homes and vehicles in the area were reportedly struck by gunfire, but there were no reports of injuries.

WBOC reported, "It is presumed the gunshot that impacted the marked patrol vehicle in the driver's door was fired out of a sedan that was leaving the area upon the deputy's arrival."

Additional officers responding to the scene recalled seeing a suspect fleeing from the area and attempted to stop the driver.

Officers attempted to catch the vehicle, but it turned off its lights, according to the station. Though the driver apparently intended to go incognito, officers were able to track the vehicle to an area 7-Eleven. Upon realizing they were caught, the suspects abandoned the vehicle and began running away. Deputies were able to detain two of three suspects.

In a statement on the attack, Wicomico County Sheriff Mike Lewis said, "This deputy is an awesome deputy. He is a young deputy, very impressionable, less than a year on the job. He is a very valued member of our patrol force, and thank God he was not struck by gunfire."

The deputy was uninjured in the incident.

The two suspects initially taken into custody were released due to a lack of evidence.

Lewis added, "It pained us to cut them loose, but we recognized that we had insufficient evidence to charge them. With the collection of DNA and ballistic evidence at the scene, and the processing by the Maryland State Police Crime Lab, we are going to try to put the pieces of this puzzle together."

The investigation into the incident continues.

Authorities ask anyone with insight on the attack contact Crime Solvers at (410) 548-1776. Those with information could qualify for a cash reward.

Pulse-pounding dashcam video shows moment police chase suspect opens fire on cops with AK-47



Terrifying dashcam video of a police chase suspect spraying gunfire at cops while they were in pursuit has been released to the public. The Carroll County Sheriff's Office in Georgia recently released the chilling footage of the dangerous situation where three police officers were shot and the suspect was killed.

A Georgia State Patrol trooper clocked a vehicle speeding at 111 mph on Interstate 20 in Bremen, Georgia, at 3:30 a.m. on Monday. The officer pulled over the 2015 Nissan Sentra, but the driver sped off as the trooper approached the car. The state trooper went into a high-speed pursuit of the Sentra, and bumped the vehicle to disable it. When the officer attempted to bump the Sentra a second time, a passenger "leaned out of the front passenger window and began firing at the trooper with a rifle," the Georgia Bureau of Investigations said in a news release.

The passenger shot CPS Sgt. Rob Holloway, who lost control of his patrol car and hit a utility pole.

The Carroll County Sheriff's Office, the Carrollton Police Department, and the Villa Rica Police Department joined the pursuit near the border of Alabama.

The Sentra reportedly crashed near an elementary school in Villa Rica.

Corporal Jamison Troutt and Deputy Jay Repetto from the Carroll County Sheriff's Office drove up to the cruiser of Villa Rica officer Chase Gordy, who was also shot. As the officers got closer, a man appeared out of the dark woods and suddenly pulled out an AK-47. The man, later identified as Pier Shelton, unleashed a hail of bullets at the officers. Repetto was shot in the arm, and the police cruiser was disabled after being riddled with bullets.

"Corporal Troutt and Deputy Repetto returned fire and stopped the threat in a matter of seconds which allowed first responders to render aide to Officer Gordy who had been shot multiple times," the Carroll County Sheriff's Office wrote on Facebook. "If not for the heroic efforts of all Officers and agencies involved and to Corporal Troutt and Deputy Repetto for stopping the suspect, this incident could have resulted in more Officers being injured or killed and the suspects could have posed an even bigger threat to the public as this occurred in a residential area."

Pier Shelton, 28, was fatally shot by law enforcement.

The second suspect in the Sentra was identified as Aaron Jajuan Shelton, the shooter's brother. Aaron Shelton was apprehended a short time later, according to law enforcement. The 22-year-old was charged with five counts of aggravated assault and three counts of aggravated battery. He is being held at the Carroll County Jail, and was denied bond by the judge.

Sergeant Rob Holloway, who has been with the department since 2008, was flown to an Atlanta area hospital where he underwent surgery. He is in the ICU, but his condition is improving.

Officers Gordy and Repetto were transported to a hospital in the Atlanta area, and have since been released.

Carroll County Sheriff Terry Langley said the officers are expected to recover, and pointed out that the situation "could have been a lot worse."

"Watching the video, it really sent chills up my spine," Carroll County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Ashley Hulsey told WSB-TV.
