Cops Killing Kids

COMPTON, Calif. -- An attorney for the family of a 16-year-old boy by shot by a sheriff's deputy in Compton says the teen did not brandish a weapon and posed no threat.
Attorney John E. Sweeney told the Los Angeles Times on Monday that Avery Cody Jr. initially complied with officers demands to stop and put his hands on the car, but ran for an unknown reason and was shot in the back.
Sheriff's Detective Steve Blagg said only that Cody had a loaded handgun when he was shot by a deputy Sunday. He would not respond to Sweeney's comments and said the shooting is still under investigation.
Cody was a high school student at Zinsmeyer Academy in Long Beach, Sweeney said. He had just finished eating with a friend at McDonald's when he was shot.
