Two deputies have been placed on administrative leave after the shooting Saturday night at Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital, Indian River Sheriff Eric Flowers said during a news conference. The identity of the man shot, a 29-year-old resident of the Vero Beach area, has not been released. Four deputies were in the ER because of other incidents that had occurred Saturday night, Flowers said. The suspect reportedly was sitting on a gurney in a crowded hallway because all of the rooms in the ER were full. The hospital had tried to transfer the suspect to a mental health facility but he was not accepted because the facility was full, Flowers said.
Seconds later the man stopped and raised the scissors over his head, Flowers said. The deputies stopped and began to retreat, but the suspect then began moving toward the deputies. Two of the deputies fired, killing the man, Flowers said. He said the entire incident was over in about five seconds.
