A Florida sheriff’s deputy who fatally shot an active-duty airman in his Fort Walton Beach home last month has been fired after an investigation found the use of deadly force violated agency policy, the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office announced on Friday.
An administrative investigation determined that Deputy Eddie Duran’s use of deadly force against Air Force Senior Airman Roger Fortson was “not objectively reasonable” and thus violated agency policy, according to the sheriff’s office.
