Special Agent Buddy Sentner was shot and killed in the Tallahassee Federal Correctional Institution while serving arrest warrants on six federal corrections officers at approximately 7:45 am.

The officers were being charged with smuggling contraband to prisoners in exchange for money and sexual contact with female inmates.

As agents served the warrants in the lobby, one of the six corrections officers opened fire with a personal weapon he had smuggled into the prison. Agent Sentner was fatally wounded and another corrections officer, who was not a target of the investigation, was wounded in the crossfire.

Agents returned fire, killing the assailant. The other five corrections officers were taken into custody.

Agent Sentner had served in law enforcement for 15 years. He was assigned to the Officer of Inspector General's Orlando Field Office. He had formerly served as a special agent with the United States Secret Service and as an officer with the United States Secret Service Uniformed Division. He is survived by his wife.

My prayers are with him, his family and friends. It's such an awful tragedy to be killed in the line of duty by some low life on the street, but by one of our supposed brothers or sisters? There are no words I can think of to describe it.....
