In the footage, which is disturbing, an officer can be seen opening fire seconds after leaving his patrol car. Kay was struck once in the chest and later died at a hospital, Newsham said.

A slowed-down version of the video released by authorities shows Kay appearing to run toward the officer with a gun in his hand. After he’d been shot, Newsham said, the officer saw Kay throw the gun.

In the footage, the officer can be seen searching in a nearby grassy area for the weapon. It was found roughly 98 feet away, Newsham said.

Seems like when a young man ruthlessly kills with a gun for instead of being killed by a quicker gun, he is no longer called a "teenager" but an "18-yr-old"?

I find the assimilation of this particular case into the police abuses narrative to be a little bizarre. https://t.co/zP3lsCzc56
