LAKE MARY, Fla. (AP) — Three police officers who fatally shot a man who pointed a gun at them in a parking lot have been cleared of any wrongdoing.
A report by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement says officers Martin Neal, Robert Ritter and William Rodwick were acting in accordance with the law when they shot 34-year-old David Mickey Romansky III in Lake Mary on May 15.
The Orlando Sentinel reports a 911 caller told dispatchers that Romansky had brandished a gun at another motorist during a road rage incident that night. Officers tracked his car to a shopping center and he refused orders to get out.
The report says he pointed a gun at officers and fired. They fired more than 25 shots, hitting him 10 times.
Romansky was white, as are all three officers.
