Eight Police Officers Fired in the Handling of Domestic Violence-Related Triple Homicide
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Florida, eight police officers have been fired after the Broward
County Sheriff's Office investigated the handling of the case of Mary
Gingles, a woman who was murdered by her husband. The investigation
found that the deputies failed to properly follow up on reports of
domestic violence against Nathan Gingles, who carried out a triple
homicide of his wife, her father and her neighbor. The case has drawn
fresh scrutiny over Florida's red flag laws to remove firearms from
anyone who poses a danger to themselves and others.
