On May 3, a Florida sheriff's deputy shot Roger Fortson six times after he opened his apartment door with a gun in hand. The incident occurred in response to a complaint about an argument, sparking debate over the use of deadly force.
Supporters of Fortson argue that the shooting was unjustified, pointing to the deputy's quick decision to open fire and the circumstances of Fortson being alone and on a video call with his girlfriend. On the other hand, authorities claim the deputy acted in self-defense, citing Fortson's possession of a gun when he answered the door.
