Daniel Furtado

Deadly force

Neighbors called police on Furtado on a regular basis. His erratic behavior and history of mental health issues were well known when they arrived to resolve another report that he'd vandalized property with a hatchet. Furtado retreated inside his house, breaking windows and shouting threats. After about four hours a special response team forced its way inside, Furtado gestured with his hatchet, and he was shot to death.
