The family of a 12-year-old boy who was shot and killed by Philadelphia police spoke out for the first time since the March 1 shooting.
The Philadelphia police officer who shot and killed 12-year-old Thomas Siderio Jr. last week, after several officers were shot at during an investigation, will be fired.
According to police officials, four plainclothes officers in an unmarked car were conducting surveillance while responding to social media posts involving a gun. The officers allege they saw two young males, including one identified as Siderio, on the street corner with one of them holding a gun. Next, those officers report they moved their car near the two males and turned on their emergency red and blue lights.
A short time later, the officers say they heard gunfire and a bullet came through their back window. As a result, two officers exited the vehicle and fired two shots toward Siderio who authorities said was still holding a gun. It's reported Siderio then ran away and one of the officers chased him, firing two additional times. Siderio was struck once in the back and was killed.
