CELL SITE WORKER SHOT AT NIGHT BY POLICE DIES ON THE JOB
A respected family man working after midnight at a cellular tower site
in a "rough" part of Charlotte, North Carolina was shot and killed after
police responded to a suspicious person call. Telecommunications site
technician Anthony Wayne Furr reportedly pointed a handgun and advanced
toward a police officer, and in response the officer opened fire.
Engineers who work late at night at communications sites may wish to
study this case carefully. Could equipment or air conditioning noise
have masked the commands from police? Read more at the URL below, or
google "Wayne Furr" for more links yet. A tragic case in any event.
