FAIRFAX - The police officer who shot and killed an unarmed man is challenging the results of an internal investigation, WTOP Radio has learned. The S.W.A.T officer shot Sal Culosi, who was the target of a gambling investigation. Prosecutor Robert Horan did not charge the officer with a crime, but police have been investigating since the January shooting. "It has taken longer than I think anybody would like," says Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Gerry Connolly. "We have an obligation as a county to provide a full accounting to the family and the public, and I believe that will be forthcoming." Police will not specify what the findings were, or if any remedy has been suggested. "When the appeals process is consumed, as is the right of the police officer, I believe the police chief will have some information for the public and the family," Connolly says. The officer remains on administrative duty, while an FBI investigation into the shooting continues. A spokesperson for the Culosi family had no comment.
