Orlando, FL — The Orlando police department fired one of their own on Friday after an internal investigation concluded that an officer violated two department regulations when he opened fire on a fleeing man.

Officer David Johnston opened fire and squeezed off 23 rounds at a man inside a parking garage. The suspect was on the other side of iron gates, posed no threat whatsoever to Johnston, and was 90 feet away.

The entire incident was captured on surveillance cameras.

The incident began in February of 2014, as officers were responding to a call about a domestic disturbance. According to the report, officers found the suspect, Derrick Lattimore, sitting in a Pontiac on the fifth floor of the City View garage. When confronted, they said, he allegedly sped off toward Officer Anthony Watts, who found himself trapped and opened fire, as did another officer.

According to the Joint Homicide Investigative Team report, Watts and Officer Alexander Kipp fired three shots combined.

Neither of the officers were injured and they were no longer in danger when Johnston decided to open fire, according to the report. Lattimore was headed toward the exit of the parking garage when Johnston opened fire.

Johnston admitted to not being able to see the suspect as he fired at the vehicle; luckily there were not children inside.

Amazingly enough, not one of the bullets hit Lattimore……More Here
