Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said surgeons are doing everything they can to save the leg of one of the deputies injured in a targeted attack on Thursday.
Two Florida sheriff's deputies remained hospitalized Friday after surgeries for injuries they suffered when a man intentionally plowed into them with his speeding car, authorities said. Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said in a video message that deputies Carlos Brito, 39, and Manny Santos, 31, “are on a long road to recovery” after suffering severe leg injuries. The sheriff's office posted a photo of Chronister with a smiling Santos and his wife in a Tampa General Hospital room.
