Authorities in Pasco County have released the identity of a woman who was shot and killed by two off-duty law enforcement officers following a bizarre incident Saturday in Spring Hill.

Inga Marie Swanson, 42, died from multiple gunshot wounds just after 1 p.m.

Hernando detective Rocky Howard, 31, and Tampa police officer William Mechler, 26, were off-duty and attending the gathering when the woman showed up and approached them, acting irrationally.

The woman left and returned a short time later with a weapon, officials said. Authorities have not described the weapon or said how the woman presented it.

“I can tell you that she was not part of the gathering, nor was she invited to the gathering,” Sheriff Al Nienhaus said. “So it wasn’t like she was invited to the group. She actually came up uninvited.”

Howard, who lives near the Orchard Parkway property, has worked for the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office for six years. Mechler has four years of law enforcement experience.

Both have been placed on administrative leave by their respective agencies pending an investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
