ANOTHER POLK COUNTY LAW ENFORCEMENT SHOOTING THIS WEEK (THAT'S THREE)

Polk County is a dangerous place to be if your're a suspected criminal this week. Thursday a Polk County Sheriff's Office deputy shot a Haines City man who had apparantly been suffering from depression and locked himself in his room with a gun after an argument with his girlfriend. The man had pointed the gun, which turned out to be unloaded, at the deputy. He was wounded on the wrist and shoulder with one shot and after being checked out at the hospital, was taken to the Peace River Center for evaluation and then to the Polk County Jail.

This occured after two officer-involved shootings in Lakeland Tuesday, and is the fourth this year. BTW: It turned out that in one of the Lakeland shootings, officers shot the suspected bank robber in the back as he was trying to escape.
