Armed teenager running toward school shot by police officer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Wichita police say a black 17-year-old who was shot by a white police officer as he ran with a gun toward a high school gymnasium was a documented gang member who was registered as a student at the school.

At a news conference Saturday afternoon, Police Chief Nelson Mosley said a 20-year veteran of the police department fired several shots at the unnamed teen, whose name was not released, after the youth ignored repeated warnings to stop.

The incident happened after officers stopped a pickup truck as it was pulling into the parking lot of West High School around 6:30 p.m. Friday. Mosley said officers had been watching the truck after it left a Wichita home where police were told suspects in a double homicide earlier in the week might be located.

Four males were in the pickup truck when it was stopped in the parking lot, and one of them got out and started running, the chief said.

Can't wait to hear what a good boy he was. You know it's coming. These people can't stop with their lies. Just like their idol obama. This is why they are killing each other off in record numbers. Honesty is an important foundation of a civilized society. What's amazing is they can't figure it out.

one less to worry about mugging or killing someone not allowed to protect themselves by some stupid gun law.
