SAN FRANCISCO — The F.B.I. is investigating the fatal shooting of a 13-year-old boy by a sheriff’s deputy in Northern California.
The shooting of the boy, Andy Lopez, in Santa Rosa on Tuesday has generated protests, with many residents questioning the deputy’s decision to open fire.
The police say the teenager was carrying a pellet gun that looked like an AK-47 assault rifle.
A timeline released on Thursday by the Santa Rosa police shows that only 10 seconds passed from the moment the deputy and his partner called dispatch to report a suspicious person to the moment they called back to say shots had been fired.
More than 100 middle and high school students walked to City Hall on Friday, The Press Democrat reported. Hundreds of people protested earlier in the week.
City police and the Sonoma County district attorney’s office are also investigating.
The Santa Rosa Police Department said two sheriff’s deputies encountered the boy around 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday. Witnesses say that at least one of the deputies yelled “drop the gun” twice.
Ten seconds after their initial report, one of the officers called in that “shots have been fired.”
Sixteen seconds later, the deputies called for medical help. The boy was pronounced dead at the scene. The Sonoma County coroner said he found seven “apparent entry wounds.”
