Joseph John Bullock Killed: On Friday, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office delivered more data about the lethal shooting of Trooper Joseph Bullock, who was let go a week ago in Sarasota National Cemetery. Sheriff William Snyder began Friday’s question and answer session by expressing gratitude toward people in general for their overflowing of help and asked that everybody keep the Bullock family and all families associated with their contemplations and petitions.

With that, he dispatched into the timetable of occasions.

It was the morning of February 5, 2020 and 42-year-old Trooper Bullock, an Air Force veteran and a 19-year veteran of the Florida Highway Patrol, was working along I-95. At 9:09am, he halted in the northward paths close to mile marker 107 in Palm City to support a debilitated driver. The course of events video, which you can watch underneath, shows a short connection. Trooper Bullock seems agreeable as he moves toward 30-year-old Franklin Reed III and addresses him quickly, at that point leaves:

At 9:51am, a driver calls 911 to report a mishap with a vehicle in the grass. That call is sent to Florida Highway Patrol and Trooper Bullock reacts, pulling back up to Reed’s vehicle at 10:12am.

Somewhere in the range of 10:12am and 11:18am, Trooper Bullock stays on scene with Reed, hanging tight for a tow transporter. At that point things become confused. Sheriff Snyder says the occasions that occurred next covered, with different things happening at the same time in a brief timeframe.

In any case, it begins at 11:18am when the tow truck organization calls 911 to state Trooper Bullock had been shot and Reed was presently attempting to shoot the tow transporter, who is fleeing from Reed down the roadway.

Dispatchers respond promptly, sending all accessible units to the scene. Meanwhile, a driver traveling south observes the tow transporter running and the Florida Highway Patrol vehicle and pulls a U-move toward the northward paths to research.

At 11:19am, the driver pulls up to the scene. Trooper Bullock has been shot and murdered and is noticeable right close to the entryway of his vehicle. At the point when the driver stop his vehicle, the driver’s scramble cam closes.

At a similar second, a subsequent driver stops and, understanding what’s going on, calls 911. He attempts to get to Bullock, however is halted by gunfire.

Additionally, in that very moment, an off the clock criminologist with Riviera Beach Police drives past and sees what seems, by all accounts, to be a dubious scene, so he stops to help. He’s wearing an checked police vest and calls 911 in the wake of seeing Trooper Bullock on the ground.

As he’s addressing the dispatcher, the criminologist can be heard requesting Reed to the ground, at that point gunfire breaks out. The criminologist hollers at Reed to drop the firearm before more adjusts can be heard. At that point a respite. The criminologist, trusting Reed was the tow transporter, tells the dispatcher that Reed had shot himself in the head.

Examiners decided Reed shot in any event twice at the criminologist with the investigator shooting different adjusts consequently. One of the analyst’s slugs struck Reed in the focal point of his chest and the sheriff’s office says it would have been deadly, yet Reed turned the firearm on himself, taking his life.

Not exactly a moment later, the sheriff’s office helicopter shows up on scene and starts to record what’s going on the ground. The investigator checks Reed and Trooper Bullock and you can see Reed’s vehicle is still in the grass close to the tow truck at a to one side point from when Trooper Bullock originally observed the vehicle at 9:09am.

At 11:26am, Trooper Bullock was proclaimed “Signal 7,” which implies dead on scene.

Specialists accept, given records with the tow truck organization’s dispatch, that Reed was angry with the tow bill, so he approached Trooper Bullock’s vehicle and shot him in the head.

The tow transporter told specialists that Reed didn’t have cash to pay for the tow, however Reed’s vehicle had just been snared, which implies he would be charged. Trooper Bullock was looking out for scene while the tow transporter and Reed worked out a game plan.

Before shooting Trooper Bullock, the tow transporter says he saw Reed stroll over to the watch vehicle, accepting, unafraid, that Reed was advising Trooper Bullock an arrangement had been reached. Rather, the tow transporter says Reed shot Trooper Bullock in the head while he sat in his vehicle, shooting him at point clear range.

Specialists state Reed attempted to then shoot the tow transporter, however his weapon stuck, giving the tow transporter the window he expected to run towards the southward paths to look for help.

The sheriff’s office says other than a robbery at a retail location the day preceding killing Trooper Bullock, Reed had no archived criminal history.

Trooper Bullock was let go on February 13. Thousands assembled to offer their appreciation, coating the course from the Robert Toale and Sons Funeral home to Bayside Community Church in Bradenton.

“At the point when it’s near and dear it harms somewhat extra and this one was a true gut punch to me,” said Sgt. Dylan Bryan with the Florida Highway Patrol Troop G.
