Over the weekend, an attorney for the family said Penley's father told him that he contacted law enforcement before the boy was shot to tell them that his son did not have a gun and that he only had a pellet gun, Local 6 News reported.If that's the case, then the outcome can't be judged unreasonable. When I posted this, press accounts were very different, citing the boys father, a brother and a classmate all corroborating police and school authorities being told.
However, phone records obtained by the FDLE showed authorities did not make contact with the dead boy's father until about 45 minutes after the boy had been shot, according to a report released Tuesday.
