New video shows the reaction to the fatal ambush of MPs, as the suspect Julie Sulpizio decided to attempt

Newly released body cameras pictures reveal the chaotic and desperate efforts of Swat officers when they tried to save a wounded MP during a fatal ambalance in Lake County last August.

What we know:

The newly released body camera film material records the intensive moments during a fatal ambalance in the MPs of Lake County in August.

The incident began as a routine welfare check in a house in Eustis, but escalated shots. The deputy deputy Bradley Link was fatally shot and caught in the house, while two other MPs were injured, but survived. SWAT officers use smoke grenades and flash bangs when they tried for more than an hour to extract the connection.

According to the authorities, Michael Sulpizio and his adopted teenage daughters Cheyenne and Savannah opened the fire to MPs and later died by suicide before Swat -Office could break through the house. Julie Sulpizio, the only survivor, was arrested and accused of planning the ambush.

The background story:

The welfare check that brought the deputies into the house was not expected to lead to violence. The MPs had no indication of what they went. The attack seemed intentional, and Julie Sulpizio was accused of orchestrated it. She is now charged with intentional murder and attempted murder of law enforcement officers.

What we don't know:

The authorities have not published any complete details about what led to the planning of ambalance or the motif. It is also unclear how long the household has planned the attack or what specific role every family member has played.

What you say:

After the court was obliged to form a state psychiatric institution last month, Sulpizio decided to competence through treatment and medication. Since then she has been returned to the district to continue using legal proceedings.

Your defense team plans to introduce videos from an earlier competence assessment as part of your test strategy and has asked two doctors to testify about their psychiatric reviews. For reasons of clarity, FOX 35S Marie Edinger spoke to the defender Michael Panella, who is not associated with this special case.

“As a society, it is constitutionally unfair to bring people to prison and to punish people with crimes if they don't even understand where they are or what happens,” said defender Michael Panella, referring to their mental health diagnoses and their previous incompetence. “The aim of the competence process is to restore them with treatment and medication.”

What's next:

Sulpizio will be due to a hearing for the competence check in court next week.
