Police Cleared of Shooting, Killing Unarmed Naked Man Who Growled At Officers


 

2006-01-25 OREGON, SANDY - SANDY, Ore. - The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office Shooting Review Board has determined that Deputy Dave Willard acted within existing rules and regulations when he fatally shot a naked and bloody Gresham man last fall.

Willard and a Sandy police officer fired eight shots at 27-year-old Fouad Kaady.

Seven rounds hit the unarmed man, who had reportedly growled at the officers, bared his teeth and yelled that he was going to kill them.

Kaady had been suspected in at least three hit-and-run crashes in the hours before his death.

Although the review board found no violation of sheriff's office policy, Sheriff Craig Roberts says he will assess the department's procedures, training and tactics.
