TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Attorney General Pam Bondi and Governor Rick Scott held a ceremony at the state capitol today, honoring eight law enforcement officers from across the state.
Among those honored were Tallahassee Police Department Officer Scott Angulo and Taylor County Sheriff's Office deputy Robert Lundy.
Lundy was selected for the Law Enforcement Officer of the Year award.
Back in 2014, Lundy was having his patrol car serviced at a Perry car dealership, when a former employee drove into the building and opened fire on those inside.
Lundy, who was off-duty at the time, fired back, killing the suspect. He's credited with putting an end to the violence before the gunman could injure more people.
Despite his heroic efforts, Lundy remains humble about his role in the incident. "I’m just thinking about all the great officers in the state of Florida, and there are so many that deserve to have this. It is just such an honor," Lundy said during today's ceremony.
Even years later, Lundy still suffers from eye and stomach injuries from that day.
