SARASOTA COUNTY - A North Port police officer has been cleared in a shooting which left one man dead.
Alan Provencal was shot and killed November 23rd by Officer William Carter. Earlier that day, police learned he had gunned down his estranged wife, Carolyn in the parking lot of the Robert L. Anderson administration center in south Venice. He then fled to his home on South Salford Boulevard in North Port.
Police rushed to the house and ordered Provencal, who was standing outside with a gun, to drop the weapon. He refused.
As two officers charged the man, Officer Carter shot him twice in the back.
The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office and state prosecutors reviewed the case.
