  • Deputies chased Guardado before one opened fire, striking his upper torso

  • His heartbroken sister wept as she told reporters: 'I lost a part of me, it's empty'

  • Guardado's death comes after riots swept across the US against police brutality

#6 Let me pose the right question.

How does an 18 year old LEGALLY obtain a pistol in the 1st place ... When FEDERAL AND STATE laws have the minimum age set at 21?

The fact he had the a pistol is a Federal / State crime. So he was running because he was a THUG.

#7 Wanna bet the "autobody shop" is more of a chop shop?

#8 At such a tender age, a licensed, gun carrying security guard? Such a tragedy.

#10 I'd imagine John Roberts and the other 4 libs on the Supreme Court will find a special right to gun ownership in the "penumbra" of the DACA.

#14 'producing a handgun' is typical journalist weasel-wording. Did he point the gun at the officers? that's a threat. then say it. Did he just show them the gun, pulling up his shirt or something? another threat. Say it.

'producing a handgun' makes it sound like he wished a gun into existence.

#15 He pulled a handgun, but the journalist thought it would set a higher tone to say “produced”.
