HAYMARKET, Va. (ABC7) — A 15-year-old boy was shot and killed by an officer with the Prince William County Police Department Friday morning, officials report.

Police say the boy was outside the house when they arrived. They say he was holding a crowbar and came toward police in a threatening manner.

When he refused to follow multiple commands to drop the crowbar, an officer shot him. Multiple shots were fired, police say.

I'm a liberal. I'm not protesting. You don't come at the cops with a crowbar and not obey commands. Let's not forget that he also had an ALLEGED BOMB strapped to his chest. Sorry, but if I'm that cop I'm going to end that threat really quick. It's common sense. Not politics.

Another case of not obeying an officer. What would be your reaction if someone was coming at you swinging a crowbar? and what would be your reaction if someone was coming at you swinging a crowbar and you were in possession of a gun?
