艾维周日说，劳森告诉当局，他和沃什在玩网络游戏的间隙“站在一起聊天”，而劳森持有一支手枪，他“相信他已经卸了子弹”。
“在他们谈话的某一点上，劳森以为枪已经卸了子弹，开玩笑地把枪指向奥斯汀的方向，并扣动了扳机，”艾维说。
“这场悲剧和完全可以避免的死亡没有任何借口，”警长说。
据警长称，劳森周日因过失杀人罪被拘留。他的传讯定在周一。
艾维说，在调查中“完全合作”的劳森“心烦意乱，崩溃了”。警长称他是“一个伟大的孩子，他可悲地做出了一个可怕而不负责任的决定，永远影响了这么多人的生活。”
艾维说，沃什从18岁起就在警长办公室工作，“他热爱自己的工作，热爱自己的社区”。
“奥斯丁是个很棒的孩子，”艾维说。“我们的心都碎了。”
Florida deputy fatally shoots fellow deputy in 'extremely dumb' accident: Sheriff
A Florida sheriff's deputy accidentally shot and killed his roommate, a fellow deputy, in what the sheriff called an "extremely dumb and totally avoidable accident."
Brevard County sheriff's deputy Andrew Lawson called 911 early Saturday to say he had just accidentally shot his roommate, 23-year-old deputy Austin Walsh, who died from the single gunshot wound, according to Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey.
The sheriff said the two deputies were "the best of friends."
Lawson told authorities he and Walsh had taken a break from playing an online game and were "standing around, talking," while Lawson held a handgun which he "believed he had unloaded," Ivey said Sunday.
"At one point in their conversation, Lawson, thinking that the gun was unloaded, jokingly pointed the gun at Austin's direction and pulled the trigger," Ivey said.
"There is no excuse for this tragic and totally avoidable death," the sheriff said.
Lawson was taken into custody on Sunday on a manslaughter charge, according to the sheriff. His arraignment was set for Monday.
Lawson, who was "fully cooperative" in the investigation, is "distraught and devastated," Ivey said. The sheriff called him a "great kid who sadly made a horrible and irresponsible decision that has forever impacted the lives of so many."
Walsh, who had been with the sheriff's office since he was 18, "was passionate about his job and loved his community," Ivey said.
"Austin was such a great kid," Ivey said. "Our hearts are broken."
