Washington: Police say officers in the District of Columbia fatally shot a man who raised a weapon toward them that turned out to be a BB gun. Authorities announced in a statement yesterday that officers responded to a call about a man with a gun in northeast Washington on Monday night.
They found a man holding a weapon, but police say he ignored numerous demands to drop it, instead raising it toward the officers. That's when police say the officers fired, striking him.
