Police Were Told Gun Was Fake Before Shooting
by Last Night in Little Rock
A Florida 15 year old 8th grade student is brain dead after being shot by police because he pointed a pellet gun at them.
CNN reports this morning that the police were told by the school officials that the gun was a pellet gun before the shooting occurred, quoting the student's family's lawyer. One of the students friends who had the gun pointed at him at school took the gun away and could tell it was fake, and he told the school who told the police.
Apparently he painted it to look real, and he brandished it in a threatening manner in a classroom, apparently terrorizing other students.
Shoot first, ask questions later.
