Thanks, I heard it now. So the officer must have seen or thought he had a gun?
I hope. My guess is the kid had a gun and when the cop first rolled up, he saw the gun in his hand and began the chase. At some point when the kid stopped, he tossed the gun behind the fence where - apparently - it’s visible in one of the other officer’s bodycams.
Remember, they were responding to a shots-fired dispatch.
