To add, Toledo and some other guy fired multiple shots towards a car driving by before cops arrived.

And Toledo has a gun in his hand behind his back before moving his hands and getting shot by the police. A split-second decision.

What people should be wondering is what the hell is wrong with the country when there's 13-year-old kids shooting guns in the middle of the night. Younger kids have been killed by stray bullets by gang members in the same city recently etc. 

How do you know he had a gun.  The question would be did you see a gun.  Just because there was a gun at the scene does not mean it was his.  The reason I say this is because there is a point in the video where after the cop shoot the kid, the video cuts out, then he is next to the kid.  In that brief time, well lets just say that anything could happen.  I would be interested to see if his prints are on the gun because we have video of police planting a gun at a scene which was I believe in SC where they shot this one guy in the back.  Planted a gun, called it in but did not know someone was in the bushes videoing the whole thing.  Anyway, its a high stressful situation no matter how you look at it.

As to why at 13 year old would have a gun, come on its America, everyone has a gun.  Any kid can get their hands on a gun if given enough opportunity.  Its the whole reason why people advocate for guns instead of gun control because getting a gun is nothing.  The question is not that a 13 year old kid has a gun shooting at night, its that the culture of the US makes it so easy for immature kids, teens and adults to get guns easily.

A news clip which looks like the kid pulled a gun from his pocket, possibly to ditch it so cops wouldn't see it. But apparently they did and thought he'll turn around to use it. High stressful situation indeed, a kid died and now the officer has to live with it. 

And yes, the culture of the US, that's where I was going. Though I still think there's plenty wrong with kids shooting guns at streets. Numbers of kids killing people is insane too, let alone violent crime rates in general.
