Florida teen, 19, killed in a shootout after murdering parents, wounding police deputy

Hindustan Times  

A 19-year-old Florida teen fatally gunned down his parents at their home and shot an officer in a standoff caught on the deputy's bodycam before he was killed in the gunfight on Saturday night. Deputies administer life-saving measures to the wounded officer Shane McCough as Hillsborough County Sheriff authorities investigate a homicide on Cactus Wren Place, Tampa, on June 16, 2024. He first shot his father, Christos Byron Themelis, 51, inside their Florida home and then killed his mother, Rebecca Ann Themelis, 48, on the front lawn. Just before the shooting started, the footage captures a deputy calling out to him, “Stop reaching for your waistband.” During their heated and high-risk exchange, the 19-year-old boy reportedly shot deputy Shane McCough, 26, in the leg.
