Teenager shot dead after cop mistakes Nintendo controller for a gun

“A teenager has been shot dead by a policewoman who thought his Nintendo Wii controller was a gun.  Officers visited 17-year-old Christopher Roupe’s home to serve a warrant on his father over a probation violation.  But when the teenager opened the door to let them in, an officer shot him in the chest at point blank range.  Police claimed he was holding a gun, while witnesses and the family said it was a Wii controller.  The family’s solicitor, Cole Law, said the youngster was about to watch a movie using his console.  Police have refused to confirm if any weapon was found at the scene following the shooting in Euharlee, Georgia – about 50 miles north west of Atlanta.”
