Roosevelt High School Student Shot and Killed

Fresno, CA (KFSN) -- A Roosevelt High School student has been shot and killed by the school's police officer. Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer says the shooting happened shortly before noon Wednesday on campus.
Dyer says the 17 year old sophomore attacked the officer with a modified bat, leaving the officer seriously injured.

According to Dyer, the officer managed to reach for his gun to protect himself but the clip fell out. Dyer says the officer reached for a second weapon he kept in an ankle holster and fired one shot at the student, killing him.

The school was put on lockdown and students were kept inside their classrooms. The officer has been taken to Community Regional Medical Center with a large gash to his head. He is expected to recover.

The student killed in the shooting has not been identified at this time. Counselors are on campus and students have been released to their parents.

The officer was seriouosly injured from the attack, I say that he was protecting his own life and it should not matter how old the kid was.

I don't disagree. I was just curious that there was no mention that those alternatives were even available to the officer. But, certainly after he hit the officer with the bat anything goes.

I think once the officer is on the ground those other options are out the door. I wonder if he was attacked from behind.
