County to pay Over Cop's Killing of GI

The family of a Fort Bragg, N.C., Soldier fatally shot by a deputy sheriff during an Army training exercise in 2002 settled with the county for $65,000.

The Moore County attorney's office released the figure late Thursday, more than a month after the out-of-court settlement was reached.

The money will be paid out of a state insurance risk pool that Moore County belongs to, County Attorney Misty Leland said shortly after the settlement was announced Oct. 13.

Tallas Tomeny, a first lieutenant, was shot and killed in 2002 after he was pulled over by Randall Butler, then a Moore County deputy sheriff.

The shooting happened during Robin Sage -- a two-week program held in central North Carolina that trains Soldiers for the Special Forces.
