My entire life I knew I had to get it. My mom drilled it into me early—if you want something in this life, you don’t ask, you don’t wait, you go take it. I watched my father live that truth every single day. Didn’t matter if he went to sleep at 3 a.m., at 6 a.m. he was up, boots on, moving forward. No excuses. No complaining. Just work.

That s**t taught me everything. Hard work wins. Laziness loses. You get off your ass whether you feel like it or not. You show up tired. You show up pi**ed off. You show up anyway. I don’t care what anyone says—discipline will always beat talent when talent doesn’t want to work.

So don’t let anyone tell you what you can’t have or what you can’t be. If you want it, earn it. Work for it like a savage fu***ng animal. Be relentless. Be obsessed. Be dangerous with your effort. This world doesn’t give a damn about excuses—go get what’s yours.

At about 12:35 this morning, HFD Paramedics were getting fuel for one of their ambulances at a gas station at above intersection. While there, they observed a domestic disturbance inside the store and then as the couple came out, they witnessed the suspect arguing with a Female. HFD then saw the suspect chase the female to the driveway of the convenient store where he subsequently shot the female, approximately nine times. HFD backed off to safety as it was occurring. At that moment, they saw a Precinct Seven Constable Deputy approaching. HFD flagged down the Deputy and told them what they had seen. The suspect got into his vehicle after shooting the female and drove up the street just a little bit. The Deputy got him behind him and attempted to make a traffic stop. As they left the scene, HFD immediately began to render aid to the female and transported her to an area hospital. The Deputy engaged the suspect after the traffic stop immediately went into a shooting. The Deputy retreated and exchanged rounds. The suspect then got into the Deputy’s vehicle and drove away. Suspect was gone for a short period of time, and then returned to the scene, and there was another gun fight with the Deputy and that’s when he dumped the Police car and got back into his Camaro and fled the scene. The victim unfortunately did not make it.
