Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Also different kind of BB's. Standard kids little bb's dont shoot out car windows all that well. I am assuming this is more of an air rifle with either the kinda conical or bigger bb's. Likely not lethal but surely dangerous if hit in the face etc.
My pellet gun is as loud as a 22lr. Glad the police officer is safe. Freakin peeblah.
I've never been shot, but a lot of people I know have (one with an AK, medium range, 3 times)... in the heat of the moment you almost don't feel anything. My brother, who took a 9mm to the leg, said it didn't hurt at first, in fact the only way he knew he was shot was he felt the wetness. No surprise here that the cop thought he was getting shot and defended himself. He'll be back on the beat in no time, I'm sure of it!

The news indicated the officer let off 8 rounds at BB gun boy.

I talked to one of the girls at Toni & Joe's Pizzeria, where it happened. She said the kid had a co2 pellet gun that was apparently pretty powerful.
First round hit the cop in the head, and he reacted. I predict this will be ruled a good shoot.
I feel bad for the kid's family though, and the cop who has to live with it.
I have always said "you can,t fix stupid"... Well, I guess you can with a bullet!
The Police officer knew it was a bb gun and killed him? Man I guess I was lucky to survive all the bb gun fights I was in as a kid, imminent death, who knew.

I don't think the officer knew it was a "bb gun" (which it wasn't, typical Chieftain kneejerk reporting).The Police officer knew it was a bb gun and killed him?
I think the officer saw a gun pointed at him, saw it fired, and felt an impact to his head. He reacted the way he was trained. He returned fire.
I may be wrong about all of it, but that's the way I see it at this time.
