An eyewitness claims that she saw Loury jumping a fence when he was shot, something confirmed by a law enforcement source
Police maintain that he pointed a gun saying that one was found on the scene while another claims Loury was a 'documented gang member'
Question : Should the police allowed him to scale the fence and then maybe followed him, and tasered him ? Was their reaction too harsh ?
A law enforcement source confirmed the account, saying the boy's clothing had become caught in the fence.
-- Is it law enforcement protocol to run after him and attempt to grab and wrestle the perp down on the ground and only shoot if the fleeing suspect has no weapon ?
Loury's aunt, Karen Winters, said of the tragic situation; 'Once again, we're looking at environment, this community, how some of these young boys are just plagued with certain influences.'
The deceased teens family would seem to think it's outside influences at work here, contributing to the problem of youth behavior. If Pierre felt threatened by the people he was with in the car-- maybe he had no choice but to do as he was told ?
The teenager's mother, Tambrasha Hudson, claims her son did not even own a gun.
The pic. on the DM site (take it with a pinch of salt) shows Pierre with a gun, but it could have been a photoshopped picture, a borrowed gun , or possibly an airsoft gun .
Didn't find any facebook page under the name Pierre Loury.
I'm curious if his family was involved in his life, or if he was a troubled teen who was not able to be controlled even by his family ?
Very tragic when a young person loses their life in this manner. Somewhat undecided if the cops should have tried to just run after him and jump on him ?
