The parents of an eighth grader in Brownsville, Texas are outraged over the death of their teenage son to police bullets in what may have been a deadly misunderstanding.
15-year-old Jamie González was shot three times in a hallway at Cummings Middle School in Brownsville after a confrontation in which the police said the boy brandished— and refused to drop — what appeared to be a handgun. The weapon turned out to be a pellet gun that closely resembled the real thing, police said late Wednesday.
“Why was so much excess force used on a minor?” the boy’s father, Jaime González Sr., told The Associated Press outside the family’s home Wednesday night. “Three shots. Why not one that would bring him down?”
