Black teen carrying toy BB gun shot dead by US cop
An Ohio policeman, responding to a robbery report, has shot dead a 13-year-old black boy who was carrying a toy gun. Authorities later said that the officer shot Tyre King because they mistook him for a robber​ with a lethal firearm. Notably, over 34 people carrying non-lethal firearms were killed by police who mistook them for lethal weapons this year.
