Police say when they got to the complex on 60th Street and Avalon Northwest, the suspect exited an apartment with a gun and fired the weapon. At least one officer returned fire.

Neighbors say they gave their cellphone to the suspect’s sister who called her brother who was in the home with his nephews. They say the sister told him to come out of the home because police said they would not use lethal force.

The witnesses say the nephews exited the home first then the suspect came out with one hand up and the other hand holding the phone to his ear.

Police told the sister to have him put the phone down and when he dropped his hand, police shot him. The witnesses say they did not see a gun on the suspect.

MORE, with video of shooting...

How hard is it for police in all these shootings to simply take a picture of "the gun" they claim suspects have and show it to the media ?
