Police Shoot Man Holding Fake Gun—Near Fake Gun Aisle In Walmart

Police Shoot Man Holding Fake Gun—Near Fake Gun Aisle In Walmart - Hit & Run : Reason.com:
"Police shot and killed a 22-year-old man inside a Walmart in Beavercreek, Ohio.
Other customers called the police after spotting the man, John Crawford, carrying what they believed to be a weapon.
However, Crawford's girlfriend—who dropped him off at the store moments before the shooting—claims he wasn't carrying a gun and didn't even own one.
Media reports are now suggesting that the weapon was actually a fake: an airsoft rifle a pellet gun,* which was sold in the sporting goods section of that very same Walmart.

 Crawford was on the phone with LeeCee Johnson, the mother of his two children, when he was shot.
Johnson told the Dayton Daily News that Crawford identified his fake gun to the police just before they fired at him:
“We was just talking.
He said he was at the video games playing videos and he went over there by the toy section where the toy guns were.
And the next thing I know, he said ‘It’s not real,’ and the police start shooting and they said ‘Get on the ground,’ but he was already on the ground because they had shot him,” she said, adding:
“And I could hear him just crying and screaming. I feel like they shot him down like he was not even human.”"
