A South Florida sheriff delivered a blistering rebuke of his own deputies this week, saying his department “failed” in its handling of a lengthy domestic violence case that he says culminated in a triple homicide.

Seven Florida cops have been placed on leave after their sheriff said their handling of a domestic violence case was “p*** poor.” Mary Gingles, her father David Ponzer and her neighbor Andrew Ferrin were all shot dead earlier this month,

The sheriff said the deputies failed to take actions that could have prevented three deaths. “There will be people that will lose their job over this,” he said.
