No reason to do this, man.
There's no reason.
All you have to do is put it do.
You haven't done anything that .
Obviously, no officer wants to
take any other person's life.
They're trained, you know,
to preserve life, including their own.
Toledo police breaking down every moment
leading up to the deadly shooting of a teen.
We just heard it A police negotr
asking the 16 year old to put the gun
down several times after a robby
Friday TPD's chief says he eventually
made a move toward officers and
eight of them fired their weapo.
The chief says they felt what t.
They did what they felt they ned
to to protect themselves and ot.
We do have team coverage for
you tonight on this story.
Maya Mae was at that news
conference not too long ago.
She did get the chance to ask the chief
of police here in Toledo a few questions.
Also, Kaylee Kirby is looking me
into the young men who police
say robbed that Dollar General
that led to this shooting.
We start with Maya Mae.
What did the chief have to say t
the steps these officers took? .
Well Jeff, the chief said that e
officers on the scene did try te
non lethal force and considered that,
but because of the time and the
area that it was set up in,
the way it was set up,
they were not able to do so.
Police say the teen pointed a gn
at officers after allegedly robg
the Dollar General on Phillips.
The officers involved are currey
on paid administrative leave.
And those officers are set
to return to work tomorrow.
In the body camera video,
we hear them say put down
your gun more than 10 times.
Chief Tyndall says No officer wants to take
a life when they clock in for the job,
and they are trained instead
to preserve life,
including their own.
Unfortunately after eight offics
attempted to negotiate and to talk to
the 16 year old James Jameson Turnbull,
the efforts were not enough.
On Friday
the suspect took actions that pt
their lives in danger and resid,
there were residents on this in
houses outside that witnessed t.
I think you guys actually interviewed
some of them that had actually
witnessed it from their porches.
So if he opens fire at that point, you know.
Chances are his rounds could
go into other houses and hit
other innocent bystanders,
so his actions dictated what we had to do.
Unfortunately,
and Chief Trinley did tell us
that the officers have experiens
ranging between 3 and 23 years.
We have more information about
this at 6:00 o'clock and how
this police chase started Miami
and downtown Toledo for WTOL. 11
Continue our team coverage with Kaylee Kirby.
She is looking at the background
of these two robbery suspects.
Yeah, so Kaylee, what are we
learning about them tonight?
Yeah, Melissa, Jeff,
We have learned that the suspect
who was shot and killed by Toleo
Police 16 year old Jamison Turnl
did have a criminal history.
Now in the past he had been arrested and
charged with assault and felonious assault.
There was another person.
With the suspect when that robbery happened,
we are learning it was Turnbulls
15 year old brother.
Toledo Police Chief Mike Trenley
says the brother was found not r
from where the shooting happened
was actually reluctant to give m
information once they found him.
He also says both teenagers had guns,
although at this time it's
unclear where they got them.
But he explains the trend that's
been seen with youth having gun.
Unfortunately, we're seeing.
A disturbing trend this year
with younger suspects and guns.
You know, there's several
different ways they get them.
A lot of times we're finding
that are these guns that are
on the street are stolen,
either Thermo burglary or some
other method from cars.
A lot of people leave guns
and cars for some reason.
I don't know why.
Now the police did say that
or police chief did say that.
The officers tried to
deescalate that situation.
We also tried to ask the chief
what that suspect was saying in
that interaction with police.
And Chief Trenley says we
don't know at this time.
That is because police still have to be
interviewed about the entire incident.
Kaylee, you're also looking
into the eight officers that
were involved in this incident.
What can you tell us about them?
Yeah, Melissa, as you just mentioned,
eight officers involved.
That means all of them are curry
on paid administrative leave.
It also means all of them
discharged in their weapons.
We will again have more on this
information in the background
of these police officers,
how long they've been on the force and
kind of what they do within TPD at six.
So stick around for that.
