A Florida deputy shot and killed his ex-girlfriend following an argument over a television set before taking his own life on Monday.
The fatal domestic dispute began when Pinellas County Sheriff’s deputy Troy Savetz, 47, confronted his former girlfriend at her home in Hudson, about 45 minutes north of Tampa. The victim and her two children, ages 9 and 12, found an armed Savetz in their front yard after returning from a beach trip. Authorities stated that Savetz and the victim had previously been in an on-again, off-again, “tumultuous” relationship.
