McManus says the officers ordered the fleeing suspect to stop and disarm, but he turned toward the officers and pointed the handgun at them. Officer Paul Armendariz fired several times, fatally wounding the boy.
No other injuries were reported. The seven-year veteran of the force will serve on administrative duty until the investigation is finished.
