WALTON COUNTY FL: Body camera footage from a fatal shooting involving a Walton County Deputy is released.
“Put the knife down,” the Deputy warned.
On May 1st, a Walton County deputy was forced to pull the trigger when a suspect charged directly at him with a knife after being warned multiple times to put down the weapon.
One of the words Sheriff Michael Adkinson continued to use to describe the deputy’s actions was, restraint.
“The deputy used a tremendous amount of restraint. I think his training was evident and the fact that he did immediately shoot him,” said Sheriff Michael Adkinson, Walton County Sheriff’s Office.
