DADE CITY -- Deputies say a Dade City man killed himself after firing on deputies who were serving warrants Monday night.
Pasco Sheriff Chris Nocco told reports that 50-year-old Lewis Moores was wanted for driving with a suspended or revoked license, grand theft auto, and fleeing to elude.
When deputies arrived around 9:50 p.m. to serve the warrants at the home near State Road 52 and Smith Road, they say Moores fired at them 10 minutes after they arrived and asked him to surrender peacefully. Nocco says Moores continued to fire as they moved back for cover, and one deputy returned fire.
