Video shows Florida deputy announced himself prior to fatal shooting of Black airmanBy STEPHEN SMITH and MIKE SCHNEIDERAssociated PressThe Associated PressFORT WALTON BEACH, Fla.
The door opened, and the deputy shouted, “Step back!” The deputy then fired off shots, and shouted, “Drop the gun! Drop the gun! Do not move!” The deputy then called for paramedics on his radio. “For whatever reason, they thought he was a bad guy, but he was a good guy. He was a great guy. He was an exceptional guy,” Crump said. “They took a patriot from us.”
In a statement last week, the sheriff’s office said a deputy responding to a call of a disturbance in progress at the apartment complex reacted in self-defense after encountering an armed man. The office did not offer details on what kind of disturbance deputies were responding to or who called them.
Fortson was talking to his girlfriend, who hasn’t yet been identified, on FaceTime when deputies burst into his apartment on May 3, Crump added. “They had taken my gift,” she said. “My heart is bleeding, and they wanted to talk to me. They told me the investigation was ongoing,” she said.
