If you heard this call come over the radio, it would make the hair on your neck stand, St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mascara told WPEC. A little girl calls in saying that, you know, Theres someone shooting in our house. I think my parents are dead. I think my familys dead.
According to police, the violence stemmed from a dispute over the gunmans dog, a bull mastiff named Roxy that had bit a neighbor. Earlier Monday, Delserro and his wife, Sandra Delserro, were fined $505 by City of Port St. Lucie Animal Control for failure to safely confine (the dog) in a fence, TCPalm.com reported.
They all came home from court and then the suspect armed himself and went to the victims house, Mascara said at a news conference.
Harper Hansman died at an area hospital, TCPalm.com reported. Her father was shot in the garage of his home and died at the scene.
A Port St. Lucie police officer was wounded during the exchange. He was shot in the arm, and a bulletproof vest stopped a bullet to his chest, the website reported.
We were sitting out here talking and we heard gunfire, carpenter Louis Herrmann told WPEC. Herrmann said he was doing some work at a middle school across from the two homes when he heard gunfire.
It was loud, it was like a war zone, I guess, Herrmann told the television station. Once they got here, you could hear a significant amount of gunfire. At least 20 to 30 rounds within a couple minutes.
Theres an anger management problem in our society, Mascara told reporters. People immediately want to do violence or grab a gun or assault someone. It doesnt pay to do that. I mean there are other ways to resolve your complaints.
Its mind-blowing. I dont think things like this happen around here, Herrmann told TCPalm.com. I thought it was a pretty safe area.
