UPDATED: 2 Harford County deputies killed in Abingdon shootings

ABINGDON, Md. —Two Harford County Sheriff's deputies have succumbed to their injuries after shootings at an Abingdon shopping center, officials said.

 Authorities said that a deputy responded to a disturbance call at 11:46 a.m. Wednesday at the Panera Bread near Emmorton Road in Abingdon. That deputy was wounded when at least one shot was fired in his direction, Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler said.

Gahler said restaurant witnesses gave good information as to the direction of travel for the suspect. A second responding deputy found the suspect and shots were fired again, injuring the second deputy.

"We believe the deputies were shot by the same suspect," Gahler said.

A short time later, the suspect was killed, Gahler said. The suspect has not yet been identified.

This is what happens when society has no common thread. Political Correctness has made it much easier for criminals to live and wander amongst us. Without a common compass, we're just wandering aimlessly until we sink.

And don't forget 7:36 AM that it was way too easy for this thug-citizen to obtain a firearm. Now let's just sit back and wait for the anti-gun pundits to come out and make their spin on the situation.

RIP officers.
