Boileau told police that he and his girlfriend had been “handling and dry-******* the firearms” when the ********* happened, authorities said. Dry-******* is ******* a **** without live ammunition.

He was taken into custody for questioning and told detectives that he and his girlfriend had returned home from dinner and had a package containing **** cleaning supplies so they began cleaning their firearms.

“While demonstrating the use of a rifle, Boileau accidentally discharged a loaded round, causing the fatal incident,” police said.

in Daytona Beach, Boileau told police that his girlfriend had asked him to teach her how to use the ****.

Ocala police said a search warrant was ********* and physical evidence was found that corroborates his account.

“In light of these findings, Leslie Boileau has been arrested for manslaughter for his role in the fatal *********,” police said.

Police Chief Mike Balken called the ********* a “tragic incident” and offered his condolences to the victim’s family.

Boileau was a deputy with the Marion County Sheriff’s Office for eight years but was immediately terminated after the *********, the office told WESH. The **** used in the fatal incident was not his work firearm, the office said.

“We are heartbroken for the family and friends of the victim,” Sheriff Billy Woods said. “Tens of thousands of law enforcement officers do their job commendably every day. But unfortunately, the tragic actions of just one are felt through the entire law enforcement community. The Ocala Police Department has the support of my office as they continue to finish their investigation of this tragic incident.”
