A Florida sheriff says a deputy killed his ex-girlfriend after a dispute that began over a television set, then shot himself. The sheriff’s account describes the deputy waiting outside the woman’s home before approaching and abducting her, with the woman’s children inside calling 911.

The reporting focuses on the sequence of events leading up to the killings and the role of the television-related argument. Fox News describes the timeline as involving anger over the TV, followed by the deputy’s abduction of the woman. Yahoo News carries the same basic claim, attributing the narrative to the sheriff and emphasizing the fatal outcomes and the children’s emergency calls.

Across the two sources, the shared emphasis is on the alleged motive tied to the TV and the custody-like abduction before the deaths. Both outlets rely on the sheriff’s statements and do not add widely differing details beyond the initial circumstances and what witnesses inside the home reported.
