'Drop the Gun!': California Teen Shot by Police After Allegedly Opening Fire with AR-15

A 17-year-old boy was shot and killed after allegedly opening fire on Merced County Sheriff's deputies April 2. Deputies were called to a cemetery for reports of alleged gang members with weapons in Winton, California. The suspects fled on foot after leading deputies on a car chase and crashing into another vehicle. Jonathan Daniel Diaz-Duarate was shot by deputy Lucy Lopez during a foot pursuit after he allegedly shot her with an AR-15 rifle. The Law&Crime Network's Sierra Gillespie breaks down the story.

It will never cease to amaze me that there are still people out there that will think people like this didn't have to be shot to stop them. Good job to the PD in this video.

Up next his mommy was interviewed by sympathetic local media and tearfully says, “he was a good boy, why’d they have to kill my baby?”🙄🙄🙄

The use of "allegedly" really dies out when bodycams are involved.

Stop calling them "boys" and stop saying "allegedly" when we just saw what happened with our own eyes.
