| [NYDAILYNEWS] The 13-year-old boy shot and killed by an Ohio cop was carrying a BB gun that looked "practically identical" to a police weapon, authorities said Thursday. Tyre King was fatally shot when police in Columbus responded Wednesday night to a call about an armed robbery. Columbus Police Chief Kim Jacobs displayed a photo at a presser Thursday of what she said was a "replica" of the BB gun held by Tyre, which had a laser scope on it. "Our officers carry a gun that looks practically identical to this weapon," she said. "As you can see, it looks like a firearm that could kill you." Jacobs said officers were responding to a call about armed robbery -- a group was sticking people up for money on the street, and one of them was armed, witnesses told cops. The black 13-year-old was shot multiple times by Columbus police officer Bryan Mason, who is white. Mason, a nine-year veteran of the department, opened fire when Tyre pulled what appeared to be a weapon from his waistband, police said. Only later did Sherlocks realize it was a BB gun, police said. |

| #6 Oh yeah, I forgot the 40 gallons worth of fish takes and the two cock-a-tiels. Lucky that I met her after she lost her 12' long boa. A real country girl. 6^) |

| #5 Yes that's what the cat does. I'm a dog person but my wife is a real animal lover supreme. Since I started dating her we've had 14 hourses, several chickens, 5 or six cats, 5 dogs, innumerable hamsters, gerbils and guinea pigs for the kids and a hedge-hog. When the last dog was getting too old she wanted a cat but I refused mainly on the grounds that inside cats destroyed things and I think it's unfair to declaw a cat. She found a shelter that had an older cat that was declawed so I caved in.........we're now on the 3rd of that kind, no more than two at a time. Except for shedding they're not too bad. The second one came with the gun.. |

| #2 Yep, they look like the real thing. I've got one that is an exact match to a Walther CP99. I let my wife get a declawed cat so she got me a declawed gun. EUT, looking at it from any distance over 3 feet you cannot tell the difference. |
