BROOKSVILLE, Fla. — Hernando County Sheriff's Office said two deputies were shot at in a deputy-involved shooting on Sunday morning.

Hernando County Sheriff Al Nienhuis said deputies responded to warrants of two suspects at the 26000 block of Dallas Drive in Brooksville. The suspects were allegedly involved in trying to sell guns.

HCSO said when deputies approached the suspects, one suspect shot at the deputies. Both deputies returned fire and shot the suspect who shot at them.

Sheriff Nienhuis said both deputies are uninjured. The condition of the suspect is unknown.

The FDLE will take over the investigation.

“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”

South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
