Orange County deputies held a gun buyback Friday in honor of a deputy who was killed in the line of duty two years ago.

The anonymous gun buyback event was held at the Orange Blossom Trail Development Board. That’s not far from where Deputy Chris Pine was shot and killed while chasing a burglary suspect on Feb. 11, 2014. The suspect then took his own life.

"When you put on this uniform, you always run the risk of unfortunately encountering a situation that could take your life,” says Captain Carlos Torres with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

A candlelight vigil was held Thursday evening.

Deputies say getting unwanted guns off the streets will help prevent gun violence.

During the buyback event, deputies first inspected a gun to make sure it’s safe. After that, they run the serial number to see if the gun is stolen.

Jorge Martins, a volunteer at Universal Church in Orlando, turned in three guns.

He says the guns come from young men who want to turn their lives around. 

"They get in with the wrong people, they get involved with people they're not supposed to be with,” says Martins.

People who turned in a firearm got a $50 Walmart gift card.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office said a total of 145 firearms were surrendered during the event, 34 were BB or air soft guns.

If you missed the gun buy back event, the annual 'Kicks for Guns' takes places across Central Florida in August.
