The 15-year-old San Diego boy shot and killed by police left a suicide note prompting the theory he was committing “suicide by cop.” The boy was killed by officers after pointing a BB gun at them in a high school parking lot in the evening hours.
Police say the unidentified boy called 911 operators shortly before 3:30 a.m. to ask officers to check on the welfare of an unarmed boy in front of the school. Investigators later determined he was referring to himself.
