That Fox producer/reporter saw the cop chasing down the man/kid, heard one shot, and the kid was on the ground face down. The assumption, since he was in a car with the windows rolled up, was that the cop had shot the kid.
Turns out, the 'kid' had a six shooter that fell out of his waistband, hit the ground and went off on its own....he immediately laid down on the sidewalk and was arrested. The cop was seen giving him 'aid' (checking to make sure he was ok and didn't need help), called for an ambulance, and he was taken to a nearby hospital to be checked out.
Nobody was shot....and that information took less than twenty minutes to get to the public via FoxNews and to the people on the street who were already gathering in large numbers.
Disaster averted.........kid has been charged.
Just got this email from a friend.
