Florida eviction turns deadly

VERO BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A Florida sheriff’s deputy has been killed while serving an eviction notice at a home on the state’s Atlantic coast. Another deputy and a locksmith working for law enforcement were shot, as was the alleged shooter. That’s according to Indian River County Sheriff Eric Flowers, who spoke at a news conference Friday. HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital says the locksmith and the accused shooter are in critical condition following surgery. The deputy who died, Terri Mashkow, was a 25-year veteran of the department. The sheriff said the officers were helping a mother serve the eviction notice to her son when he grabbed a firearm and began “indiscriminately firing.”
