Center received a call from a citizen reporting a black male with a bandana around his face was waving a gun and pointing it at cars. Taking a look at these pictures from patrol car video. It shows Kionte Spencer holding what turned out to be a bb gun in his right hand. Officers ordered spencer to drop the weapon. He refused and thats when two officers deployed their tasers. When that failed, shots were fired striking spencer in the collarbone and hip. I dont know at this point if this was a situation that could have been quote de escalated. This was a deadly force encounter despite the fact that we know know that this handgun was an air gun. After the News Conference we spoke with spencers brother carl. He says they were close and talked about four times a week. They even spoke the day of the shooting. Thats what makes it so crazy. And, thats another reason why i came here, because this is not sitting right with me. Ill never be able to get over him until i find out what happened. Spe
