JACKSONVILLE, FL (WJXT/CNN) - Two deputies were killed in an ambush in Florida on Thursday.

The Gilchrist County Sheriff identified the two victims as Sergeant Noel Ramirez and Deputy Taylor Lindsey. They were shot and killed inside Ace China restaurant in Trenton, about 45 minutes west of Gainesville.

Authorities say a gunman walked up to the restaurant and fired at them through the window.

The sheriff said Ramirez was a seven-year-veteran of law enforcement.

He called the both deputies "the best of the best."

Officials have not released any information on the shooter. They also have not given a motive for the attack.

The sheriff's office did tweet Thursday that no suspects were at large.
