Fresno, California â€” On July 30, 2023, at 10:32 a.m., an officer with the Fresno Police Department responded to the 100 block of East Warner Avenue regarding a report of a vehicle that had been abandoned in the roadway. While the officer was in the process of having the vehicle towed, he was approached by a community member who told him that there was a young male on a scooter nearby that had a gun. The officer alerted Fresno Police dispatch of the community memberâ€™s report. As the officer drove southbound on North Effie Street, he observed a subject that matched the description of the subject reportedly armed with the gun. The officer notified dispatch, pulled to the side of the road and made contact with the subject. The officer ordered the subject, who was wearing a ski mask, to raise his hands and get down on his knees.

The subject complied, got down on his knees but then began to reach for an object in his waistband. The officer told him to raise his hands, but he continued to reach for the object. The subject pulled a gun from his waistband. Upon seeing this, the officer discharged his service weapon. The officer immediately requested paramedics and began to render first aid while they responded. The subject was transported to the hospital, he is listed in stable condition and is expected to recover from his injury. It was determined later that the subject was a 15-year-old juvenile. At the scene, the officer recovered the juvenileâ€™s unloaded Glock 19 X .177 caliber bb pistol. The weapon is a replica of a Glock semiautomatic handgun with all Glock stampings. The juvenile was cited for PC 417.4 (brandishing an imitation firearm) and released to the custody of his guardian. The investigation into this critical incident is ongoing.

You can say its a BB gun but I've seen videos of people painting rifles and handguns to look like BB and nerf guns. He doesn't know and he's not going to take you're word for it. Especially in this situation, keep them hands raised and let him do his job. You can say its a BB gun and that's it.

So many people getting mad because the kid said its was a bb gun… How in the world is the cop supposed to know if hes telling the truth. 50/50 chance it was real and he shoots the cop…

Stupid boy to pull a BB gun when an officer says hands up. A masked wannabe criminal. No sympathy with those individuals.

Could have said that WITHOUT reaching for it. Makes a world of difference.

You……. this kid would have been fine had he just….. ughhhh….. but you know what, it's Fresno so….. ðŸ¤¦â€â™‚ï¸

Dumb people just don't stand a chance lmao

Live by the gun died by the gun

It's literally an officer's job to put himself at risk and save people, not to discharge a weapon at children like nothing happened.
And the comments are a census of fascists who don't realize that they themselves will be on the other side of the wire at any moment.ðŸ˜‰

Wtf he seen him trynna out it on the ground n he shot him

People trying to paint a cop bad for shooting someone who willingly wore a ski mask and brought a fake gun to probably rob someone, expecting to not get shot for reaching said fake gun. You must live under a rock lol

For people who don't understand *Logic*: I would assume it's a reall gun until I got proof it's not and that's impossible in this moment. So I would shoot because look at him he is grabing it and he is wearing black with a mask. It's your life in the line you don't think twice in this situation. ðŸ˜‚

If only kids these days knew how to listen.

This generation don't have any common sense lol can't take simple directions keep ur fckin hands up let the police do the search idiots

When I was young, my mother warned me that is what would happen if I pointed my toy guns at a cop. Mine were clear plastic with a orange tip.

smart.

This just shows exactly how low these people's IQs are. I feel like anyone with a shred of common sense, would know not to reach for anything that resembles a gun. Heck I wouldn't reach for my wallet if a cop had a gun pointed at me. However this kid genuinely thought it would be a good idea to pull his fake pistol out and show the officer it's fake ðŸ¤¦

Murder

Sad when a culture encourages this behavior

Wow thatâ€™s a tough situation, you canâ€™t point gun at police BB gun or not. Hope the kid recovers well â¤

â¤de una vez

LISTEN TO THE OFFICER'S INSTRUCTIONS!! HE'S NOT YOUR "BUDDY" TO BE HORSING AROUND WITH!!

Heâ€™ll be back committing crimes in no timeâ€¦.

He was trying to put it on the ground

Man, that was beautiful

How dumb do you have to be? Donâ€™t reach for a gun.

fkn cops really love to shoot their guns instead of deploying their tazers, scared lil boys. smh.

Bet that's the last time he'll do that….

Too bad this young savage wasn't permanently removed from the gene pool.

What a dumb ass! Got exactly what he deserved. You donâ€™t reach for anything when a LEO has you at gun point! Iâ€™m sure he wasnâ€™t out doing anything good with that BB gun.

Man God really spared that Kidâ€™s life for him to survive after being Shot . When a Police Officer has You at GUNPOINT DO NOT REACH FOR ANYTHING AT ALL . Nowadays BB guns are being sold that looks just like a REAL FIREARM . Iâ€™m kinda glad that the Kid didnâ€™t Die in this incident because he got another chance at Life to be smart and do the right thing! And itâ€™s sad because heâ€™s only 15 just a Kid smh . but the Police Officer had to do his job by taking down a possible dangerous Threat to the community so I believe the shooting was Justified the fact that the Officer had no idea of the Gun was REAL or FAKE .

The kid literally said "it's a bb gun" as he slowly (and yes stupidly) removed it from his waistband in an obvious attempt to place it on the ground. The "firearm" was never pointed anywhere remotely near the officer the entire 0.2 milliseconds before he pops off a few quick ones. You can tell from the callousness in this officer's voice that he was pleased with himself for taking care of just another young black "thug". Bad shoot. Dumb kid (glad he survived), but still a bad shoot.
