Four people are dead, one of them a Lake County, Florida Sheriff’s deputy, another two deputies are wounded, and a QAnon-pilled registered Republican woman is being held without bail awaiting charges of suspicion of murder, attempted murder and other crimes after a shootout last week in a home in the town of Eustis spurred by pedophilia accusations, USA Today reports.
The shitshow started at about 7:45 PM Friday when 48 year-old Julie Sulpizio began assaulting her neighbors, accusing them of “being sinners,” and saying, ‘I know what you did.'” Cops responded and placed Sulpizio in cuffs. Asking her name, Sulpizio simply said she was “Helen under God’s will,” that her neighbors were pedophiles, and she was trying to lure them into her home so her husband, 49 year-old Michael Sulpizio could shoot them dead, as it was her job to bring him “dark souls.”
Deputies attempted to conduct a welfare check on the home, but were concerned that the residents might be armed so they waited. Finally after an hour of no activity, they approached and announced themselves, upon which Michael opened fire, fatally wounding 28 year-old Master Deputy Bradley Link. Two others were hit. Link’s body camera caught a woman, one of the Sulpizio’s daughters – either Cheyenne, 23, or Savannah, 22, (both registered GOP voters) screaming “My king will kill all of you!” while racking an assault rifle. A SWAT team showed up but all three of the Sulpizios still inside the house self-neutralized just before the tactical officers entered at around 11:02 PM.
Investigators found “conspiracy theory-related media,” gas masks, other emergency prep items, along with more than 20 firearms “gathered, placed and staged” around the home.
