12 Year Old Boy Killed By Police

On Sunday, a 12 year old boy, Tamir Rice, was shot and later died of his wounds. It started when unidentified caller called the police stating someone was brandishing a "probably fake" gun. The officers responded and reported to the scene. One officer told Rice to raise his hands. Rice did not respond and took the toy gun out of his pocket. The gun didn't have the normal orange safety indicator, so the officers fired two shots.

The officers had no right to fire at the boy. It doesn't make sense how a 12 year old boy would have a semi automatic handgun, and the unidentified caller even suggested that the gun might be fake. All of these facts further proves that the officer shouldn't have fired. The officer could of also fired a warning shot saying for the boy to drop the weapon. The boy's family are doing their own investigation to find the truth.
