Who is this TV reporter and why would this TV reporter be allowed to traipse through a crime scene???
And why would this wii gun not have been bagged as evidence immediately???
The word "euharlee" has now become synonymous with "barney fife".

The Euharlee police dept went to serve a violation of probation warrant for a misdemeanor.
I have gone over and over this story with the two siblings of Christopher and there was not BB gun pulled on the officer.
Christopher had gotten up to put in a movie and had the wii remote in his hand so that he could start the movie.
There was a knock on the door and Christopher said who is it. No one answered him so he opened the door with the wii remote still in his hand.
The female officer already had her gun drew and saw the remote, assumed it was a weapon and shot my nephew in the chest. She never said put down your weapon she just shot.
The male officer told the female officer to put her gun away because it was only a remote control. She didn’t.
Christophers little sister started towards Christopher because he had already fell to the floor so this female officer pointed her gun at my niece who by the way is 13 Years old and told her to shut up and stay where she was.
I posted the statement about the TV reporter immediately after the shooting. I read multiple articles and don't remember what local news channel carried that story. I certainly don't know why the reporter had access to the inside of the home after the shooting, or whether he could see them from the door.
And why would this wii gun not have been bagged as evidence immediately???
It may have been bagged as evidence immediately. I've never seen an article stated what was done with the controller the young man was holding. I only know that a reporter claimed to have seen gun-shaped controllers on the floor in front of the TV.
I'll spend a few minutes looking for that link, but I've cleared my browser history since the original story.
I wish you had asked me that question when I posted it on 2/21. It was from a local news station webpage and it would have still been in my browser history.
I didn't create the statement about the TV reporter out of whole cloth.
I've just skimmed fifteen pages of Google results and only found a couple of local television news reports, none of which were the one I referred to. By now, the base story about a Wii controller appears to be on every blog around, but only the TV website story mentioned what its reporter claimed to have seen.
