So aside from the usual CNN bullshit (it's basically repeated around the net for every story on this) about kids and guns as well as Momma mourning her 'baby' who was off to a bright career as a chess champion or Doctor I have to ask.....

Why the fuck does a 14yo have a handgun?

At a gas station

Where he was totally not shoplifting....

And exactly who's gun was it....

 

[Jigstick]

Stollen gun probably. Had it to “look gangster”. So much potential wasted. Tragedy

 

[Jscb1b]

One down.

 

[10ring'r]

Probably stole it out of daddy's secure, non-penetrable, gun vault??

"Following the peaceful protests, the convenience store was looted and vandalized, with the outside being spray-painted and the windows shattered, an incident report from the sheriff’s department said."

Not enough info but its rarely wise policy to shoot someone in the back.

While their running away.

So this begs the question​

Oddly enough, being CNN, it doesn't warrant an answer.

It is sad and shooting the kid in the back won't wear well. However, dollars to doughnuts the guy is robbed regularly by budding doctors and rocket scientists and the local PD does nothing. That crap gets old as well. I did laugh at the family lawyer stating “What happened to (Cyrus) wasn’t an accident,” he said. “It’s something that the Black community has experienced for generations: being racially profiled" No mention of the kid being in a store with a gun shoplifting. Thats not racial profiling, that is identifying a pattern by race. Just like the looting and vandalizing their own neighborhood store that ocurred afterwards.

While their running away.
