A Georgia teen who dreamed of being a Marine was killed by police at his front door while wielding only a Wii remote, the family lawyer claims.


Christopher Roupe, 17, of Euharlee was felled by a single police bullet when an unidentified officer arrived at the family mobile home to execute a probation violation warrant against his father, authorities said.

Meanwhile, police assert that the teen pointed a gun directly at the female officer, prompting her to blast the boy in the chest.

The circumstances of the tragic shooting last Friday night are under reviewed by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, according to reports.


“It just doesn't add up,” family attorney Cole Law told WSBTV. “He heard a knock at the door. He asked who it was, there was no response so he opened the door and upon opening the door he was immediately shot in the chest.”


Roupe, 17, was a member of the ROTC at Woodland High School and was planning to sign up for the Marines, his friends said.


“He was a good kid,” his pal William Corson told WSBT.
Like I said on another thread, if we don't stop this now, it won't be someone else's child or family member, it will be one of ours. This cop and cop-adoring rhetoric that everyone they kill is a "thug" has worn out its own carpet. There shouldn't be a free pass for these types of bad shootings. They need to be held accountable both by their own and the general public.
