VERO BEACH, Fla. (AP) \u2014 A gunman who killed a Florida deputy earlier this week died on Saturday from injuries received in the confrontation, authorities say. <\/p>\n
Michael Halberstam, 37, shot two Indian River County deputies and a locksmith on Friday when they were serving an eviction notice at a home near Vero Beach where Halberstam\u2019s mother was trying to evict him, officials said. Officers returned fire, striking Halberstam multiple times and he succumbed to his injuries Saturday afternoon, the county\u2019s sheriff\u2019s department said in a post online. <\/p>\n
One of the deputies, Terri Sweeting-Mashkow, was killed and another is recovering from a shoulder injury. The locksmith was in critical condition after the shooting and underwent surgery, Alexander Hagan, a spokesman for HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital, said Friday. The locksmith wasn\u2019t identified.<\/p>\n
Over the past month, the sheriff\u2019s office had received seven calls from the home, \u201calmost all\u201d of which were from the mother calling about her son, Indian River County Sheriff Eric Flowers said Friday at a news conference<\/a>. Still, he said, deputies weren\u2019t expecting any trouble when they arrived to carry out the eviction. <\/p>\n \u201cThis was a standard call for service,\u201d the sheriff said, adding there was nothing in Halberstam\u2019s record that would have precluded him from having a weapon.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stay up to date with the news and the best of AP by following our WhatsApp channel.<\/p>\n
