LAKELAND, Fla.-
Police were searching for a suspect who shot two sheriff’s deputies Thursday, authorities said.
The Polk County deputies were taken to a hospital following the early afternoon shooting in north Lakeland, sheriff’s spokeswoman Donna Wood said. She didn’t know their conditions. The shooting occurred near a high school, which was locked down, she said.
Television video footage showed armed police with shields searching a wooded area with traffic backed up on nearby Interstate 4 in the town about 35 miles east of Tampa.
