Multiple reports describe a mass killing in Plant City, Florida, in which a mother, her young child and baby, and the children’s grandmother are reported to have been killed. The accounts state that Hailey Dempsey, 28, flees her home after her mother, Valerie Deboe, 55, is shot dead. One report says Dempsey runs with her daughter, 4, and a four-month-old baby after the shooting at the residence.
The coverage frames the incident as part of a wider spree in the area, though the shared details focus mainly on the family members who are reported dead and the immediate actions taken by Dempsey after the killing of her mother. Police are described as investigating the circumstances of the deaths, including how the other family members were harmed. The reports do not agree on additional suspects or specific timelines beyond the events described at the home and the subsequent flight with the children.
