You Can Never Have Too Many Bullets
A friend emailed me this story. I thought it was an urban legend, but it turned out to be true.
LAKELAND, Fla. — Officers fired 110 rounds of ammunition at the man suspected of killing a sheriff’s deputy, killing the suspect, according to an autopsy released by the sheriff’s office.
Angilo Freeland — who was suspected of fatally shooting the deputy after being pulled over for speeding Thursday — was hit 68 times by the SWAT team members’ shots, the examination released Saturday showed.
He also was suspected of wounding a deputy and killing a police dog.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said he was not concerned by the number of shots fired.
“You have to understand, he had already shot and killed a deputy, he had already shot and killed a K-9 and he shot and injured another deputy,” Judd said by phone Saturday. “Quite frankly, we weren’t taking any chances.”
“I suspect the only reason 110 rounds was all that was fired was that’s all the ammunition they had,” Judd said.
Damn right, if you have a valid reason to shoot, then make darn well sure that you shoot enough. I have to wonder about the round count though. I bring more than that to family events.
