This time in
Los Angeles:
Around 7:45 a.m. Tuesday, two officers were driving in the 7200 block of 10th Avenue when they spotted a group in an alley. A teenager was pointing what police thought was a gun at another person, Smith said.
Officers ordered the boy to drop the weapon multiple times, Smith said. When he didn’t comply, one of the officers opened fire.
The teen holding the replica weapon was unharmed, but the 15-year-old boy standing next to him was struck, Smith said.
Thus far, none of the boys involved have been charged. This again begs the question,
why do retailers continue to sell "toys" that so closely resemble real guns?
