It doesn't matter what type of gun it is. If the kid was stupid enough to point it at them, and they couldn't tell the diff, they have every legal right to shoot first.

Can you tell the difference between a real gun and a pellet gun at 20 feet?

Wow thanks for my first pin guys!!! Also this is pretty messed up. in the video though it says the kid "engaged" the police officers. I have no idea what really happen, lets post the other links and get some cross source fact checking going.
I'm just here to post good information when I can.

Seems a little strange.. when Columbine was happening they wouldn't even go in there.. what does that mean 'banished' a gun? Was the kid shooting at them or not? Must have been a white kid if he was not this would be some sort of out rage.. they would be in the streets...demanding answers..

At the range, under controlled conditions. Way to go, action hero! A bad guy shot in the thigh can still keep firing his weapon, which is why when police shoot, they shoot to definitively stop the target and that usually ends up with a fatality.

Everyone's a Monday morning quarterback in situations like this. I don't care how old the stupid kid was-- you point a gun (yes, even a pellet gun) at a cop after he tells you to drop it, you get dropped. End of story.

I smell another Jared "Patsy" Loughner or underwear "Patsy" bomber. Anything on CNN or any of the MSM channels is being used as mind control. Your right about gun control. They create false stories that NO ONE can prove and then they say it is for our own good to remove all weapons. Propaganda everywhere on MSM

Doesn't matter. Ask yourself: if you were a cop on the scene would YOU like to get shot in the eye and be blinded for life? Or the throat, or the femoral artery?

I understand that U.S. pellet guns have higher muzzle velocities than what we can legally buy up in Canada (500fps max without a Firearms License) too.

Up here we consider pellet (and even non-firing REPLICA guns) to be actual firearms for the purposes of criminal prosecution. You rob a bank with a cap gun where you've removed the orange tip from the barrel, it's armed robbery, pointing a firearm, assault w/a weapon, etc. Aim it at the police at your own peril, too.

Well, typically when the police order you to drop your gun, and instead of doing so you raise it up and point it at them it strongly suggests that you are going to fire...

There is no requirement to "wait for the bad guy to shoot first" and possibly injure or kill an officer before lethal force is allowed. That would just be retarded.

Lots of info here. Not sure if this will work:

[link to www.facebook.com]


By Juan Montoya

Apparently upset over a recent breakup with his girlfriend, a 15-year-old Cummings Middle School student who took a rifle to school Wednesday morning was shot and killed by Brownsville Police during a confrontation in the hallway.
Police officers responded to an emergency call about 8 a.m. of an eighth grade student, previously suspended from the school, who was threatening teachers with a rifle.
[At this time, it is unclear whether the rifle was a "real" weapon or, as some sources point out, it may have been an air soft gun whose rubber pellets, at most, sting like a bee].

"Supposedly the kid was upset cause administration had suspended his girlfriend and had air soft gun (bb/pellet gun) in his pocket..." according to sources with Cheezmeh, the social group which broke the story on Facebook as followers posted live updates throughout the day on its site.
According to police the student was seen with the rifle and when officers arrived, engaged police before he was shot. He was taken to Valley Baptist Medical Center in Brownsville where he died. His name has not been released. Media reports indicate that at least one additional student was detained for questioning. Justice of the Peace Kip V. Johnson Hodge ordered an autopsy.
"He was upset because he and his girlfriend had broken up," said a student, daughter of a local attorney.
