In St.Louis Missouri, home of the STL Cardinals and Blues it was a very bad tragic that happened 2800 block of New Florissant and North ST.Louis. Teenager name Darryl Ross, 16, was armed and running away, police and family members all say.

But there’s little more they agree on. Their accounts otherwise diverge on key points: whether officers identified themselves as they approached the teen; whether the teen’s mother was there at the time of the shooting; and whether his gun was out during the encounter. The police office still got his gun out and shot Darryl. Nobody knows the reason why he was shot by the office, if the office felt threatened by the teenager or not but, he shot him in cold blood at the gas station Sunday Night.

Darryl’s mother, Jukita Johnson said ‘He was planning to enroll in Vashon High School to play on the basketball team because he loved watching and playing basketball. His Uncle “Darryl’s” is a police office and he will be pursuing the case and looking into it himself because he loved his nephews and didn’t want to see him in the streets and wanted him to pursue his dreams as playing ball.

The detectives said they pulled into the parking lot in an undercover vehicle and were dressed in plain clothes but were wearing black bulletproof vests with the word “POLICE” in white letters on the front and back.

That’s when police said Darryl “quickly walked off” the gas station lot and into a nearby alley, so they followed him in their car. When they reached him, officers said, they got out of the vehicle and identified themselves as police.

Police said Darryl ran through a hole in an iron fence and west across the gas station’s storefront as they chased him. Officers said the teenager tripped over a curb, fell and dropped a pistol. As detectives approached him, they said, Darryl reached for the gun, and both detectives shot him.

You can also find these articles on STLToday, Fox2News STL, and CNN. However, nun of the sources really had new information everything was kinda the same as far as information and what the mother of the child said and how she felt about the situations.

In my opinion yes, the police had the right to pull over a bunch of people sitting in front of the gas station showing off weapons and disturbing others. But, when the teenagers fell and the weapon also fell they should’ve never shot him they could’ve ran up to him and kept him pend down or tazzed him. Why every time it’s a situation like that the police office always go for the kill I just don’t understand that and this world need to do better from a young teenagers stand point and from police officer stand point also.
