BROWNSVILLE, Texas – Police say the weapon a Texas eighth-grader pointed at officers in a school hallway before they killed him was a pellet gun that looked like a real handgun.

Interim Brownsville Police Chief Orlando Rodriguez says 15-year-old Jaime Gonzalez had “plenty of opportunities” to lower the weapon but “didn’t want to.”

Rodriguez says two officers fired three shots and struck Gonzalez at least twice.
