Charles E. Furlong

Deadly force

Deputies responded to a call reporting an intoxicated subject suspected of firing a gun inside an apartment. While enroute, deputies were notified that the wife of the suspect had contacted the Sheriff's Office to report her husband assaulted her by firing his gun twice at her in the apartment. Furlong had an automatic handgun in his hand and walked back and forth in front of the building before trying to re-enter the apartment building. The deputies talked to Furlong for about 20 minutes before he pointed the gun directly at them, at which time he was shot and killed.
