Ron DeSantis after the Parkland school shooting is defending himself after admitting he fatally shot a man when he was 14 years old. Broward County Sheriff Gregory Tony said in a statement Monday he "shot an armed man in self-defense" during his time growing up in a Philadelphia neighborhood "filled with violence and gang activity." "This was the most difficult and painful experience of my life and I have never spoken of it publicly. I worked every day from that time forward to leave the violence that surrounded me in Philadelphia behind," Tony said in his statement to CNN. This is the essence of law enforcement and is why I have dedicated my life to service in law enforcement."
