"It's shocking. It's hurtful," said an emotional Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Alvarez, adding that he knew both slain officers personally, having once been the police department's director. "Really, I can't put it into words."The cops had been searching for a man involved in an earlier slaying. A family member said the suspect "would be right back", according to CNN. Minutes later gunfire erupted with Castillo--a father of three dying at the scene. Haworth--a 23-year-veteran died on the operating table.
Lt. Rosanna Cordero-Stutz of the Miami-Dade Police Department told CNN that the deaths hit her department hard.
"This is part of what police officers face every day," she said. "That's not just here in Miami-Dade County, that is across the country. We're people, too."
The Miami officers often coordinate activities with the U.S. Marshals Service.
"This is a very volatile area," Marshals Service spokesman Barry Golden told CNN affiliate WBFS. "There are a lot of shootings in this area. Now you realize how dangerous this job can be -- tracking down fugitives, subjects who know they're wanted, who are always armed."
