Deputy Anthony Forgione was shot and killed while attempting to arrest a suspect who had escaped from custody while at a local hospital for a mental evaluation.

The suspect had returned to his childhood home and barricaded himself inside. Negotiators attempted to talk him out of the home. The SRT team entered the home after the negotiators failed to receive a response from inside. As the team entered, the suspect opened fire and killed Deputy Forgione. Other deputies inside the home returned fire and killed the suspect.

Deputy Forgione had served with the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office for three years and had previously served with the Fort Walton Beach Police Department. He is survived by his wife and two young daughters

I assume you work in a town North of FWB/Destin area?

Sorry for the loss.

I am in that area once a month, almost like a second home. RIP Deputy.
