Authorities say a 16-year-old male is dead after an officer-involved shooting in Chanhassen Friday morning. The Carver County Sheriffs 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 sheriffs deputies fired their weapons, hitting the boy. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities say one sheriffs 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 Sheriffs Office at the scene, including the Hennepin County Sheriffs office, Minnesota State Patrol, South Lake Minnetonka police, and Minnetrista police.
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.
What - you don’t think there should be riots, pillaging, and demonstrations without knowing the actual facts first??? No fun there. /s
I'm warming it up, boys. Put your riot shoes on!
Kinda messed up way they kept him from committing suicide.
They disrespected me at the Chanhassen Lunds, burn that 1st!
Yeah that point kind of jumps out at you reading this
With no other information to go on, I will guess that these two deputies solved the “Tueller Drill”.
He did commit suicide. Suicide by cop.
His poor mom. :*( It’s hard to imagine something worse.
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.
Suicide by cop.
