Grinnell said that when officers confronted Sulpizio, he told them he needed it to trick “Lucy,” adding: “Later, [Lucy] That will be the name she calls Lucifer.”

Grinnell said officers decided to conduct a welfare check after Sulpizio's behavior became suspicious.

When deputies arrived at her home they found two dead dogs outside and an open window with a broken screen, according to the sheriff's office, after which they called for backup.

Link and another officer, Harold Howell, entered the home and were ambushed by Sulpizio's husband and showered with “a hail of bullets,” the sheriff said.

Grinnell said Link was trapped inside the home and shot multiple times before SWAT teams arrived and pulled a second deputy from the home to safety.

According to FOX35, Link's body camera footage showed Sulpizio's husband and daughters had planned to kill themselves, but police found them dead from gunshot wounds to the head.

Grinnell said Sulpizio, who is being held without bail, was arrested Monday afternoon at AdventHealth Waterman Hospital and transported there for treatment and evaluation.
