Florida deputy who fatally shot U.S. airman is fired following internal investigation

A sheriff's deputy who fatally shot a Florida airman at his apartment earlier this month has been fired, authorities announced Friday.

Deputy Eddie Duran was "terminated" following an investigation by internal affairs, the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office reported in a news release.

The investigation determined that Duran's "use of deadly force" in the shooting death of Senior Airman Roger Fortson "was not objectively reasonable and therefore violated agency policy," the sheriff's office said.
