Shootings take place in fractions of seconds with very little time to think. I have a wife and children who I am responsible for. What if everyone was wrong and the gun turned out to be real? Now you would have a dead cop who was just doing his job.

Right on brother.
If the gun was fake and his father knew it they should have sent him in to drag his sorry rear out. Funny how everyone around this kid knew he had suicidal tendencies and it was left up to local LE *again* to deal with him as a last resort. Sad.
