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.
