Another police officer killed in Florida

A veteran Florida police officer died  Sunday after being gunned down and run over with a car by a felon who said he "felt like a caged rat" because he faced likely arrest and more prison time, a law enforcement official said. Officer Charles Kondek, a 45-year-old married father of six, was killed in Tarpon Springs, about 30 miles northwest of Tampa, after responding to a noise complaint around 2am EST, the local police department said.
Authorities charged Marco Antonio Parilla Jr, a 23-year-old released from prison in March and wanted for an alleged probation violation, with the first-degree murder of the officer. "A tragedy caused by a coward," said Tarpon Springs Police Chief Robert Kochen. "It’s devastating.", according to a news agency.
