In California, local prosecutors say they will not bring criminal charges against a sheriff’s deputy who shot and killed an eighth grader after mistaking his pellet gun for an assault rifle. The deputy, Erick Gelhaus, shot 13-year-old Andy Lopez seven times last year in Santa Rosa. The killing sparked mass protests. But the Sonoma County district attorney concluded Gelhaus believed he was in imminent danger. In a statement, an attorney representing the family in a civil suit said the decision “leaves the family feeling as though Andy had been killed again today. … No reasonable officer in such circumstances could believe he was encountering anything but a teenager with a toy gun on a sunny afternoon in a residential area.” The FBI is still reviewing the shooting.
