Florida Deputy Wounded in Bathroom During Shootout PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 30 June 2009

Florida Deputies were attempting to take Rodney Burton (pictured at left) into custody for auto theft in an Orange County gas station when Burton pulled a gun and shots were exchanged between him and the Deputies.

Ironically, Deputy Hope Cieszynski, from the fugitive unit, just happened to be in the store using the ladies room and was on a different radio channel so unaware of the impending arrest inside the store. A bullet went through the wall and either the bullet or shrapnel hit her in the leg. It's unclear who fired that shot.

Cieszynski's injuries were minor, unlike Burton's who was shot in the head or neck. Although he is expected to survive.
