A Cleveland police officer was less than 10 feet away when he shot and killed a 12-year-old boy carrying a replica gun near a playground, and video of the shooting is clear about what happened, police said Monday.

The boy was approached by officers Saturday responding to a 911 call about a male who appeared to be pulling a gun in and out of his pants.

The 911 caller said the gun was "probably fake," then added, "I don't know if it's real or not." Deputy Chief Edward Tomba said Monday that he didn't know whether a dispatcher shared that information with responding officers.

12 year old, Tamir Rice was shot after he refused to have his hands up. He had an Airsoft gun with him. I wonder if this could trigger unrest like in Ferguson.
