They Lied Officials Say Tennessee Student Killed By Cop Did NOT Fire The Bullet That Hit Officer

They lied.

In Tennessee, a Black student who was shot and killed in the bathroom at Austin-East Magnet High School in Knoxville did not shoot the wounded school resource officer.

In the initial report, police claimed 17-year-old Anthony J. Thompson, Jr. shot at the officer.

But the report from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says Thompson never fired his gun.

It appears another police officer shot him during the incident.
