It's a weird one. The officer was off-duty. This is the officer's version of the story: he sees some 18 year old black guys walking down the street and decided to stop them and talk to them. He had some words and they put hands on each other. While they were wrestling(?), he says that he saw that the kid's hoodie came up and he saw that the kid had a gun in his waistband. The kid took off running and the officer pursued. He says that the kid then fired on him 3 times and then the officer fired back and killed him. Police say they recovered a 9mm from the scene that was supposed to the handgun that the kid had.
I'm very interested in knowing if the kid has residue on his hands from firing the weapon.
