PHOENIX (AP) — An Arizona constable who got the job earlier this year when her predecessor quit over frustration with eviction notices was fatally shot while carrying out the same duty. The gunman, his neighbor and an apartment complex manager also died. Investigators say the shooting happened Thursday at the Lind Commons Apartments in Tucson. The Pima County Constables Office says it is devastated by the killing of Constable Deborah Martinez-Garibay. Gov. Doug Ducey has ordered flags fly at half-staff Friday. Martinez-Garibay joined the Army after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and served for 16 years. Earlier this week, an Oklahoma sheriff’s deputy was killed while serving an eviction notice.
