Miami - "A fugitive gunman accused of killing a Florida sheriff's deputy was shot 68 times by SWAT team officers who found him hiding in the woods, according to post-mortem results.
Police fired 110 shots at Angilo Freeland, 27, the target of a massive manhunt in central Florida after the fatal shooting of Polk county sheriff's deputy Matt Williams on Thursday.
"That's all the bullets we had, or we would have shot him more," said Polk county sheriff Grady Judd to the Orlando Sentinel newspaper.
Judd said Williams was "executed" after Freeland was pulled over in a routine traffic stop on Thursday. Another deputy was wounded and a police dog killed."
It's difficult for me to believe that this is precisely what the Sheriff said. Even in Florida, saying you shot a man until you ran out of bullets is somewhat harsh. Not that the son of a bitch didn't deserve it, but executions are what cops do, then tell another tale.
And what SWAT team runs out of bullets after firing only 110? The usual team consists of 4 men, but folks are telling me that they weren't all SWAT members, and the cops surrounding the murderer numbered at least 10. They got close enough to pull a cloth away from his hand, then opened fire? And for those who are saying that 68 hits out of 110 fired at bad-breath range is good shooting...
Please now.
Something's fishy.
