Well, guess he won’t be pointing any more guns at police officers anymore.
Sure, the kid was wrong for having the pellet gun. He also brought this on himself without question.
The cops didn't have to blaze away at this kid. Perhaps a well placed shot to the hip or leg.
This would have dropped the kid immediately writhing in pain.
Did ya really have to shoot the kid several times? Did ya really have to cap the kid in the head?
Soooo, did the first responder have this ordnance you so fondly speak of???? or should he have called for backup while this little POS went on his merry waying offing teachers.
here is a picture of the 15 year old 8th grader with his GF holding his gun.
Glad to see that this possible future drug dealer/la Raza soldier/rapist/murderer was taken out EARLY in his career.
flame away.
Suicide by cop.
I just don't think police should be the first to fire in a school or other public situation. What ever happened to the concern for bystanders. Any of those bullets could have killed someone else, maybe another child. That seems to sacrifice public safety for personal safety.
In this case, if the police had held fire until the boy fired first, they would have had a good laugh* as they carted the perp off to juvy. By firing first, the possibility of a peaceful resolution was completely rejected by police.
*I know, I know. You can lose an eye.
They NEVER are - but there's a first time for everything.
My kid has one of those pellet guns (airsoft), and you need to make sure they get orange on them to identify them as fake.
Plus, everybody knows you don’t point things that look like guns at police officers, unless you want to be dead.
So my guess is the kid was depressed, and this was his way to commit suicide. A sad thing to be sure.
Poor kid. No second chance for that mistake.
