Teen held for incident outside Bothell FDA office

February 12, 2013 @ 8:19 am

EVERETT, Wash. (AP) - A judge ordered a Bothell 15-year-old held Monday on $10,000 bail while Snohomish County prosecutors decide whether to charge him in connection with Friday's confrontation outside a Food and Drug Administration laboratory in Bothell.

Police say the teen backed into a security officer in the parking lot and officers fired at his car and wounded him in a foot.

The Daily Herald reports ( http://bit.ly/Z7PcSu) he's held in the Denney Juvenile Justice Center in Everett.

The boy attends an alternative high school located in the same business park as the FDA laboratory.

    Deadly force?
    February 8, 2013 7:21 pm
    This story is not about the 2nd amendment. What this story is about is why private security guards felt the need to use deadly force on a kid who was trying to drive away. Not saying the kid was an angel, not saying the guards maybe felt threatened when one of them was struck. Based on the story it sounds like the kid was trying to get away. No indication the guard was injured to an extent that required medical attention. And it sounds like the kid had reason to be there (his car in the lot near his school). Someone should take Barney Fife's bullet from him.
