Re: 3 Indian River Deputies Shot, One Dies During Eviction (FL, USA)
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — A 25-year sheriff’s veteran deputy was fatally shot Friday (morning after she and other officers attempted to serve an eviction at a residence in the Bermuda Club. The deputy, identified as Terri Sweeting-Mashkow, was 47 years old. Another deputy, Tino Arizpe, was shot in the shoulder and was recovering at HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital in Fort Pierce. The suspect, identified as 37-year-old Michael Halberstam, along with a locksmith, were both listed in critical condition and in surgery at Lawnwood, Flowers said. The locksmith’s identity was not publicly released. Three Indian River County sheriff’s deputies, along with the locksmith, went to the home about 8:42 a.m. Friday, Nov. 21, to serve the eviction in the 1100 block of Governors Way in the Bermuda Club. The gated, beachside community is located north of Indian River Shores, just west of State Road A1A and less than a mile south of Disney’s Vero Beach Resort. Flowers said the mother was evicting her son, Halberstam. Minutes later…at 8:57 a.m., gunshots blasted inside the residence. The mother was standing outside of the home when the shooting occurred, Flowers said. “While (the deputies) were in the entry way – having just entered the home – Halberstam retrieved a weapon and began indiscriminately firing at our deputies on scene,” Flowers said. “It’s a terrible scene out there.” Arizpe, who was shot in the shoulder, ran to the garage, Flowers said. Sweeting-Mashkow was pronounced dead at the scene. Another sheriff’s deputy – identified as Sgt. Gary Farless – who was on scene was not injured. Flowers said deputies Arizpe and Farless exchanged gunfire with Halberstam. It was unclear if Sweeting-Mashkow also fired. “Our deputies did fire at him and he was struck multiple times,” Flowers said. The type of gun used in the shooting was not released. It was unclear if deputies recovered the firearm. Flowers said Halberstam has a 2006 narcotics charge and a 2015 misdemeanor assault charge both out of Virginia. It was unclear if Halberstam had previous charges of gun violence. Flowers said deputies had seven calls to the home in November. It was not immediately known why the mother wanted to evict Halberstam. “Almost all of (the calls) were from the mother calling about him and her decision to ultimately evict him,” Flowers said. “(Deputies) identified strange posts on social media. He was fired from UPS. He made terrible comments about them. He posted negative (comments) about the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office on his Facebook page, ” Flowers said. “This is not someone who was on our radar. This is not someone we were actively engaged with.” |

Well, he got evicted. But he ALSO has a new place to live for the next 20-30 years. And his mom won't have to argue with him any more. Too bad about the deputy being killed, though. |
