BCA: Boy, 16, Killed In Chanhassen (MN) Officer-Involved Shooting

Authorities say a 16-year-old male is dead after an officer-involved shooting in Chanhassen Friday morning. The Carver County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 6400 block of Oriole Ave. after a woman called 911 saying her son was suicidal and threatening her with knives and a baseball bat. When authorities arrived, they encountered the boy and deployed a Taser.

At one point during the encounter, two sheriff’s deputies fired their weapons, hitting the boy. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities say one sheriff’s deputy was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries, treated and released. The BCA is investigating the incident and says the names of both officers who fired their weapons will be released once they have provided interviews. Both officers are on administrative leave, which is standard procedure. A friend of the boy killed has identified him as Archer Amorosi. Several agencies are assisting the Carver County Sheriff’s Office at the scene, including the Hennepin County Sheriff’s office, Minnesota State Patrol, South Lake Minnetonka police, and Minnetrista police.

White teen.

White affluent neighborhood.

There's a good chance that the cops were white.

Here's what's NOT going to happen.

Riots.

Marches.

Things burning.

Interstate highways shut down.

With no other information to go on, I will guess that these two deputies solved the “Tueller Drill”.

No doubt.

I’m guessing that she made the 911 call.

Caught some of the police radio chatter on the local 10 news.

News reports of knives and a baseball bat.

Chatter included an “axe”.

Some updates trickling out...

Mom called the cops the day before because of his tantrums.

Threats the day before started when his car was taken away from him.

It appears that his car was taken from him because he wasn’t taking his depressant meds.

Still no fires, rioting, violence or road blockades in Chanhassen.
