http://abc7ny.com/2-deputies-killed-while-eating-at-restaurant-in-florida/3369705/
Investigators in Florida say they may never know why a man - a recluse from a rural farm community who rarely ventured into town - killed two sheriff's deputies while they sat in a Chinese restaurant.
John Hubert Highnote, 58, of Bell casually walked into the restaurant, went up to the Gilchrest County deputies and fired at them. He then went into his car and killed himself.
"It's inexplicable," State Attorney Bill Cervone said. "People will want to know why, and we may never have an answer for them."
Highnote came from a small town just up the road from the Ace China restaurant in Trenton, about 35 miles west of Gainesville. He lived alone in a small, brick house shaded under a canopy of trees.

Otherwise the right-wingers would be screaming about it non-stop.

From the comments
UPDATE (TO THIS TOO LONG VID): The suspect John Highnote who murdered the 2 deputies was described in previous court records as a white male who stood 58″ and weighed 126 pounds. He was also described in court records as slender and balding, with a beard and working as a mechanic for a brake and clutch store. The suspect has a LONG record in confrontations with law enforcement. He has several arrest records including a restraining order to stay away from a female victim.
