[QUOTE/Hippikos]A man who got pulled over in a routine traffic stop in Florida ended up "executing" the deputy who stopped him. The deputy was shot eight times, including once behind his right ear at close range. Another deputy was wounded and a police dog killed.

A statewide manhunt ensued.

The gunman was found hiding in a wooded area with his gun. SWAT team officers fired and hit him 68 times. Asked why they shot him 68 times, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told the Orlando Sentinel...:

“That's all the bullets we had.”[quote]

That's a pretty cool story.
