15 year old shot by police

an 8th grade student is brain dead after being shot by police. police shot him because he had a gun. and now we hear that the police knew the gun was fake.

the question is did they really know, for sure, that the gun was merely a toy pellet gun? or did they do the right thing since no one knew, for sure, the gun was fake. a gun pointed in my face is still scary, even if someone tells me it is fake.

it has also been reported that the boy was suicidal and looking for a way to kill himself. regardless of his 'asking for it,' he did not deserve to die. it's a sad situation.
