Officers fired 110 rounds of ammunition at the man suspected of killing a sheriff's deputy, according to an autopsy & records released by the sheriff's office Saturday. 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 showed. He also was suspected of wounding a deputy & killing a police dog. Ten SWAT officers surrounded Freeland on Friday as he hid beneath brush & a fallen tree in a rural area. Authorities say he raised the gun belonging to the deputy he had killed, prompting 9 officers to fire. "I suspect the only reason 110 rounds was all that was fired was that's all the ammunition they had," Judd said. "We were not going to take any chance of him shooting back." The SWAT officers who shot Freeland have been placed on paid administrative leave, standard procedure in all police shootings. Shoot a man and all get paid holidays. No Heroes here ...
