‘a Virginia SWAT squad killed optometrist Sal Culosi while arresting him for sports gambling.’
I recall this case in the late 1980’s I think,and it was not the usual SWAT storm trooper action. Culosi, who ran part of a sports book had been arrested and was sitting handcuffed in a police cruiser when a Fairfax County Police Department officer accidentally squeezed the trigger of his service pistol as he was holstering it. The round went through the front seat back and hit the unfortunate Dr. Culosi killing him instantly. The case disappeared from the press and I have no idea what the disposition was.
