sounds like some basic emo kid with a gun.

guns arent bad, stupid people make them bad.

odd though, dont most police departments have at least some less leathal weapons like beanbag shotguns and the like to neutralize people?

I wonder how many 9mm rounds the SWAT team pumped into the kid with their mp5s?

They didnt, they whacked him with their mp5s

When a gun is being pointed at you you don;t ask them to hold on, you shoot. This was not some drunk fighting with cops, it was someone that said he was going to kill himself or die and had a gun.

The SWAT snipper obviously never played CS. I'd have went for headshot and be done w/.

MP5 takes about 4 shots in the head in CS to headshot :D

TMP is better, 4 shots point blank dead with helmet.
2 shots without helmet.

Suicide is usually a sad, tragic, selfish and pathetic death.

Suicide by Cop is just selfish. The sad and tragic parts belong to the cop...

Yeah, that's what I was wondering... 13 is a normal age for an 8th grader.

"At one time he held the gun to his neck. As the deputies attempted to establish dialogue, he raised the firearm and lethal force was used by the sheriff's office," Eslinger said.

Wow. Like you guys said he WANTED to die. It was a freaking pellet gun, definatly had a death wish.
