Fatal Incident Summary
Offender: Michael Donovan Oswald :: Caucasian / Male - 38 years old
died during standoff with police.

Oswald had several previous arrests on his record, including a hit-and-run conviction last year. He was also arrested for simple assault in 2007 and again for illegal possession of a concealed weapon (recorded only as a weapon that was “not a pistol”) in 2013. Both the latter charges were dropped.

Location: Gardens of Ashley River   West Ashley,   Charleston County, SC   USA   Mon. Sep. 08, 2014
Summary: Deputy Sheriff Joe Matuskovic was shot and killed as he and several other deputies responded to a disturbance call at an apartment complex at the intersection of Ashley River Road and Carriage Lane.

Two deputies working an overtime assignment at the complex had requested assistance from additional deputies to help deal with the subject who had been pounding on apartment doors and vehicles in the parking lot. The man then went inside his apartment. As the deputies attempted to make contact with the man, he opened fire through the apartment door, striking Deputy Matuskovic, piercing his soft body armor, and another deputy.

One resident said he heard several gunshots before hearing someone yell out 'officer down.' Another reported hearing the sound of about 20 gunshots.

Both deputies were pulled to safety and transported to the Medical University of South Carolina, where Deputy Matuskovic succumbed to his wounds at 8:37pm.

Hours into the crisis, after making several unsuccessful attempts to reach the suspect, the Charleston Police Department SWAT Team made entry into the unit with the help of a robot and spotted Michael Oswald, 38, unresponsive, Lucas said.

Worth noting: Mr. Larry Britton, an employee with the Charleston County's Technology Services and Radio Operations, suffered a fatal heart attack while assisting the Charleston County Sheriff's Office with joint communications during the event. Mr. Britton also served as a South Carolina State Constable, but was not on duty in that capacity at the time of his death.
