Police fatally shot a 13-year-old after a chase in upstate New York after the teen displayed what appeared to be a handgun, the Utica Police Department said in a statement.
Officers stopped two teenagers on Friday around 10 p.m. local time in Utica, a city of 64,000 people in upstate New York located about an hour's drive from Syracuse, police said. While the authorities were questioning the teens, one of them fled, the statement said.
As he ran, police spotted what "appeared to be a handgun" pointed at the officers. One of the officers fired his gun and hit the teen, described as an Asian male. He was brought to Wynn Hospital where he died from his wounds. Authorities have not yet released the names of the deceased 13-year-old or the officer who shot him until the next of kin is notified.
