re: Deputies Try To Kill Pitbull, Kill a Teen

I doubt this is what happened. The narrative from police reads like a giant frick up. I will be very surprised if they shot the kid as he was draped over the pit bull.

That's not the way I interpreted it. I saw it as saying he was running around the corner and was in the act of jumping towards the dog to cover him up. His mother in one article insinuated that is what happened, too. But, that looks worse for LEO to me. if the kid was close enough to leap toward the dog, the cops should have seen him and held their fire. If the kid was just coming around the building, then a ricochet might be unforeseen.

I don't know. With so many versions of the story coming out, nobody could know.
