Should he have been killed?

which is why every state includes pellet guns in the definition of 'firearm'. so no, it's not criminal to make a pellet gun look like a real gun. The only 'gun' that i know of required to have the orange tips are the airsoft guns.

oops

ps is that the law in your state or federal law?
 
given all of the above, back to the op, yes he should have been killed and i think that is what he wanted

Problem is, these days the cops are trained to put two bullets center-mass. 1 in the leg would have stopped the poor little guy, who clearly had some type of judgement issue, but cops are trained to not use discretion.

And then when the parents sue the cops for "wounding" him and he now suffers from PTSD, the public can just send him a paycheck for the around the next 70 years or so.

I can't speak for other States; but in AZ it is against the law to shoot someone with the intent to WOUND OR MAIM.
Ie: if you must shoot, it is to kill.

Texas 8th Grader Shot and Killed by Police was Carrying a Pellet Gun

The Texas eighth grader shot and killed by police in a middle school hallway Wednesday was carrying a pellet gun, not a handgun as police initially thought.

The parents of 15-year-old Jaime Gonzalez are demanding to know why officers took lethal force against their son, but police say the boy was brandishing — and refused to drop — what looked like a handgun, and that the officers acted correctly.

According to police radio records obtained by the Brownsville Herald, officers arrived at Cummings Middle School and saw a male holding a black handgun in a hallway. Police said he pointed the gun at officers as they repeatedly asked him to drop the weapon:

if anyone has more facts to share, that would help. i don't know how i feel about this one yet. if there were no other people in immediate harm, why didn't the police back off or use non-lethal force?

btw...15 in eighth grade?

Death is not an aim, it is a result of people doing criminal behavior.

Don't make other people fear for their lives and you eliminate the idea that you are a threat.

What exactly am I wrong about? If someone is shot multiple times in the chest, its expected and anticpated that they die, hence why such a tactic is used in the first place. Just because the slim possibility exists that it won't happen, does not mean that it is not the intent.

It doesn't mean that it is.

It doesn't surprise me that you refuse to acknowledge the obvious.
