Wallio s email also said that another three deputies have recently resigned, but he later clarified that the resignations were unrelated to the shooting. He said the department has about 55 total sworn deputies.

Wooten has confirmed that at least one deputy was wearing an active body camera but hasn t given a timetable for releasing it. ....
