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 autopsy results.
Police fired 110 shots at Angilo Freeland, 27, the target of a massive manhunt in central Florida following the shooting death of Polk County Sheriff’s Deputy Matt Williams Thursday.
“That’s all the bullets we had, or we would have shot him more,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told the Orlando Sentinel newspaper.

Love that line!!! Wonder if Al and Jesse will be making their way down.
Damn, a non-PC quote is refreshing to read these days!

Better shots than most cops.
That's gotta leave a mark.
Believe me, if the sheriff had not said that line the losers at pmsnbc would never report the story.
They just want to start a racial incident. I am very surprised that they mentioned that the officer had been shot 8 times.
Feiger just got on a plane to Florida, LOL.
" Police fired 110 shots at Angilo Freeland "
Hmmmmm... back of the envelope calculation says that only 61% of the shots were on-target...
Even if probably over half of the shots were not fired at point-blank range into a corpse, it would still seem to indicate that cops in that part of Florida need some extra time on the range....
Methinks that 68 out of 110 shots is a pretty poor hit ratio. Back to the shooting range for more practice for these guys?
Why is this even news? Seriously, they should have fired a 1,000 rounds at the scumbag. Maybe dropped a nuke.
He didn't mention that the guy was in 14 pieces and only weighed 31 pounds after they got done shooting.
Bump!
Well remember, the first 40 were warning shots......
Gotta give the perp a chanch, you know.
I may get flamed but 68 times is just ridiculous and shows an aspect of these SWAT teams that are dangerous. No reason whatsoever to take out ones anger on a dead body. I do not want police that can not control their anger better than this. It shows a callousness that I do not think we would want police to develop. Too trigger finger happy and sounds like everyone just wanted their turn to empty their magazine in a already dead body.
Here's a link to the first post on this. The 'misses' are well explained.

Over 50% hits, which is a pretty good hit ratio for cops against an armed subject.
Wonder how long Rasta-boy was lucid enough to know he was getting hit? Hopefully for at least 40 or so hits.
The whole thing happened in about 4 seconds. It wasn't as if the cops were taking shoots at a corpse on purpose.
We used to to call that:" Termination with extreme prejudice!"
Ping.
I'll vote for this guy!
