Any death is tragic, but some are more understandable than others.
"Zerby, 35, was in a seated position on Dec. 12, 2010, when he extended his arms while holding a gun-like object and pointed it at an officer, police said. He was shot in the torso with a shotgun and handgun and died at the scene."
As has been pointed out, if the Officer feared for his life (not knowing is was a toy pistol) I understand.
