A Federal security officer shot and killed a 13-y-o who was attempting to carjack the vehicle of the officer.
...The duo demanded that he exit his car. The situation escalated immediately, as one of the assailants placed his hand within his front waistband pocket, simulating the presence of a firearm. Fearing for his safety, the security officer decided to step out of his vehicle.
The officer then drew his weapon to defend himself. The shots that followed wounded the 13-year-old Vernard Toney, Jr. was critically injured. The teen was rushed to a nearby hospital, but despite all efforts, he died, the outlet further added....
OK, you're a licensed CCW holder and you've taken a lot of armed self-defense instruction.
What critical information is missing from the above narrative?
Yup.
Did the kid brandish a weapon? Pull it out of his pants?
Or did the officer simply decide to shoot without regard to "imminent threat of death or grave bodily harm"?

Action is faster than reaction. If you want to act like you have a gun and it appears you want to use it against me I am happy to put an end to the threat.
Then you will go to prison.
Forgot to add: unless you are a Capitol Cop, or part of the 95% of police figures who are prosecution-proof. Thin blue line, and all that.
Be a victim if you want to be.
