7 Florida deputies on leave after domestic violence dispute ends in triple homicide
Seven Broward County, Florida, deputies were placed on leave as the sheriff investigates what he called the "piss-poor" handling of an ongoing domestic violence dispute that ended in a triple homicide.
At a news conference Wednesday, Sheriff Gregory Tony ripped into the deputies' performance, saying several "shortcomings" led to the Feb 16. murder of Mary Gingles, her father David Ponzer and neighbor Andrew Ferrin.
Gingles' 4-year-old daughter was kidnapped but found safe hours later in a vehicle with her father Nathan Gingles, who was arrested on several charges including first-degree murder with a firearm.
"This is just a matter of what I’ve seen of piss-poor performance, complacency, and people not doing their due diligence," Tony said, calling it "bulls--- work."
He said that during the process of looking into the murders, his office "ended up opening up an internal affairs investigation to identify any shortcomings."
To the family of the victims, he added: "Basically, we had a chance to save your loved one’s life and we failed."
