Andy Lopez, 13, was shot and killed by police officers  for carrying a replica assault weapon in Santa Rosa, California, on Tuesday  afternoon

 

 

After ordering Lopez to move away from the  rifle, deputies approached the unresponsive teen as he lay on the ground and  handcuffed him before administering first aid and calling for medical  assistance, O'Leary said.

Lopez was later pronounced dead at the scene,  while neither deputy was injured.

Lopez's heartbroken family say he was carrying just a  toy while police have described it as a replica of an AK-47 style  rifle

The article mentions that these cops had claimed they told him to drop his weapon but instead the kid pointed his weapon in a threatening manner thereby causing the officers to shoot. I seriously doubt the officers even told him to drop the weapon...perhaps they whispered among themselves. A neighbor had heard a series of pops from the gunfire but never heard the officers ordering the 13-year old to drop his weapon.
Just another example of way too many trigger happy cops. Unless the kid had a death wish, I don't think he would have pointed a toy weapon at officers who had their firearms pointed at him
