Columbus Ohio was thrown into the national spotlight late Wednesday night after a 13 year old boy was shot by police.

Police in Columbus, Ohio, say officers were responding to a report of an armed robbery Wednesday night when they encountered a person who pulled what appeared to be a gun from his waistband.

An officer opened fire, hitting this person “multiple times,” the Columbus police said. He was pronounced dead not long afterward.

Early Thursday, police said the person killed was 13-year-old Tyre King. Detectives investigating the shooting scene said they found what appeared to be a handgun, but “upon further inspection, it was determined to be a BB gun with an attached laser site,” according to a statement from the Columbus police.

Understandably the police are facing major scrutiny for their actions and the response from the community is all over the map, nor is it pretty.

However, lets take a look at the details. Once you delve into those, the story becomes far more than just a ‘cops shot a black kid just because’ narrative that the Black Lives Matter is attempting to shove at everyone.

1. The 911 call reported a robbery by group of ARMED teens
2. Dispatch was told that at least one teen was carrying a pistol that looked like a Ruger
3. King was on the run with one of his buddies, 19 year old Demetrius Braxton
4. When officers caught up to the two, King turned around and pulled a gun out of his pocket.

Think about this for a minute. A call comes into the police. Someone has been robbed. The description is that the group who robbed the person are ARMED. Just those facts alone are enough for police to be on edge while responding to the call and places everyone involved on a higher level of danger than compared to a purse snatching.
