According to police, officers were responding to a shots fired call, and saw “two males in a nearby alley.” Cops say one of them was armed and fled, then one officer fired shots and hit a suspect in the chest.

Police initially said the person “was pronounced deceased on scene” but didn’t specify the age of the person the officer had shot.

The police department later tweeted a photo of a gun allegedly recovered at the scene. However, there doesn’t appear to be a weapon in Adam’s hands in the body cam footage. Yet police claim there was an “armed confrontation” and shot him in the chest. Adam was categorized as a special education student.
