Video shows a New York police officer fatally shooting down a 13-year-old Nyah Mway, held to the ground, after he ran from police and pointed a replica hand gun at them, reported the AP on Sunday. The replica gun carried by the teen “is in all aspects a realistic appearing firearm with GLOCK markings, signatures, detachable magazine, and serial numbers,” Lt. Michael Curley, a police spokesperson, said via email. “However ultimately it fires only pellets or BB’s.” A bystander's video shows one of the officers chasing Nyah Mway to tackle him to the ground later. “I want to offer my heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased party during this difficult time,” NY police chief Mark Williams said.
