Prayer gathering to honor fallen Florida Sergeant killed in action
A prayer gathering is planned for Wednesday morning at the Okeechobee County Sheriff’s Office to honor an Indian River County Sergeant killed in the line of duty. Sgt. Terri Sweeting-Mashkow, a 25-year veteran of the Indian River County Sheriff’s office, was shot and killed Friday while responding to an eviction call. The prayer service will be held at 8 a.m. on the front steps of the Okeechobee County Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff’s officials are inviting staff, community partners, and the public to come out and pay their respects. The chaplain for the Okeechobee County Sheriff’s Office, Joe Bishop, will lead the brief service, which will include prayers for Sweeting-Mashkow’s family, friends, and colleagues, as well as the entire Indian River County Sheriff’s Office. Organizers say the gathering is meant to honor Sweeting-Mashkow’s life, recognize her decades of service, and offer comfort and support to the law enforcement community now grieving her loss.
