Air rescue helicopter crashes into Florida building, at least 3 injured

Florida police are responding to a scene where a helicopter crashed in Pompano Beach, Florida, injuring several people.

Florida cops found a note at a 2022 murder scene that said, “The occult were messing with me. Don’t believe anything bad. I am telling the truth.”

The bizarre note was found in the house where Alexandra Cupolo – then 27 – allegedly killed her fiancé Andrew Sturm and her mom, Jacqueline Cupolo. 

Sixteen months later, a judge said Alexandra was unfit for trial and ordered her to be turned over to a treatment facility. 

The judge’s order requires reports every six months on Cupolo’s competency restoration to decide if the case will proceed.

Both victims were found dead inside a Palm Beach Gardens home during an early morning welfare check on April 12, 2022, after Sturm, an emergency room physician, did not show up for work.

Responding officers found Alexandra “in and out of consciousness” while lying on a bed, according to local news outlet WPTV, which cited the police report.

While in the hospital, Alexandra allegedly told detectives that she shot her mom and fiance. 

She allegedly said her mom “is a b—-” and then fatally shot Sturm because “he was standing next to her,” according to the probable cause affidavit obtained by FOX 17. 

Cupolo said Sturm’s death was all right because he is now at peace, FOX 17 reported.
