A Prince William County police officer fatally shot a 15-year-old male Friday morning while responding to a report of a hostage situation at a home in Haymarket, authorities said.

The shooting occurred outside the home around 10:45 a.m. in the 6800 block of Hartzell Hill Lane, police said.

During an encounter with police, the teen brandished a crowbar and began walking toward the officers in a threatening manner, police said. They said the officers gave the teen commands to drop the crowbar but that he refused.

One of the officers then fired at the teen, striking him in the upper body, police said. Officers provided immediate first aid until rescue crews arrived, police said.

The teen, who has not yet been publicly identified, was pronounced dead at the scene.

No officers were hurt in the incident.

Shouldn't that teen be in school? Oh wait, the streets are his school, and he was taking a class on how to attack police officers.
So sad. I know he had a great future as a criminal.
