* (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) * Akron, Ohio — On Monday, April 1, 2024, at approximately 7:04 p.m., the communications center received a call from a citizen who reported seeing a 15-year-old boy in the area of Newton St. and Tonawanda Ave. with a gun.

According to the caller, the male was pointing the gun at houses. At approximately 7:11 p.m. a responding officer located the subject matching the caller's description, walking on Brittain Rd. and Ottawa. The officer stopped his marked police car to investigate. As the officer began to exit his patrol car, he quickly issued a verbal command for the male to show his hands. Seconds later, the officer discharged his firearm one time, striking the male in the hand, after observing the subject with what appeared to be a gun in his hand.

Immediately following the shooting, officers secured the crime scene and rendered emergency first aid, which included applying a tourniquet to the male's arm. The subject was later transported to an area hospital and underwent treatment for a non life threatening injury. The officer is a 9-year veteran of the department and is on paid administrative leave.

«Hmm, the cop didn't do anything wrong I do not think.
Holding a fake gun is such a bad idea. If you need to draw it, or if you draw it, it needs to be able to speak for yourself.

«@speedbird747 Because he knew right away that the shooting was a mistake. They are trained to shoot several rounds as one round will usually never take down the suspect.»

«WTF. This cop shoots immediately without giving any command(s) to drop the gun. This cop should not be a cop if he is that scared.»

«@SmartOP You must have missed this part:

"As the officer began to exit his patrol car, he quickly issued a verbal command for the male to show his hands."

«@WonkasWilly I've heard it. "Show your hands" is NOT same as "drop the gun". Suspect COMPLIED with the cop's command to showed his hands. Also, the suspect DID NOT point the gun at the cop. There are so many videos of cops shooting someone just because they see a gun (or something that looks like a gun) that aren't justify to shoot.»

«@SmartOP real life isn't hollywood. There's no time in real life for a cop to stand there and try to get a good look at what a suspect is holding. The dipshit is lucky to be alive but knowing these folks he'll be back under arrest or worse soon enough, they NEVER fucking learn.»

«The officer fired by accident and they are hiding it by not addressing it because he SHOULD have shot that fer dindu.
Listen to the cop say, "Oh SHIT SHIT".....he didn't mean to pull the trigger.
Upon watching this again...I actually believe the cop's damn good reflexes kicked in!!
