Accused of killing deputy, suspect shot 68 times

'We would have shot him more,' sheriff says of SWAT team's actions

Updated: 11:07 a.m. ET Oct 1, 2006

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 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.

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.

Williams, 39, was shot eight times-one bullet fired at close range behind
the deputy's right ear and another in his right temple, according to autopsy
results released on Saturday by the sheriff's office.

Sheriff's officials said SWAT team members found Freeland on Friday hiding
under a fallen oak tree in a wooded area near where the deputies were shot,
and began firing when they saw a gun in his hand.

Lewts see...you're gonna punish folks who love guns and shooting almost as
much as they love their spouses and/or lovers (at least almost when they can
hear) by giving 'em more time on the range?
Trying to get the hit percentage down to 50% or so?
