Wisconsin teen, who was shot by an officer after pointing a pellet gun that authorities said looked like a handgun at another student, told police he was “tired of being picked on by other students' and wanted to scare them.
The student later could not remember if Smith said anything when he took out the gun"because everything happened so fast, and he was certain Smith was going to shoot him, and he was scared," the complaint said.
When other police arrived, an officer instructed Smith to slowly take his empty hands out of his pockets, but the teen instead removed his hands quickly, holding the gun, the complaint said. The officer shot him twice in his arm and once in his leg. Smith said his friend may have known the gun was a pellet gun, but he wanted him to believe that he was about to shoot him, the complaint said. He said his brother once brought a gun to school in 2015, so he knew he could scare people that way. He told police that on the day of the incident, he was angry because he had found out his sister's boyfriend had hit her.
