whio-TV The girlfriend of John Crawford (above) says Crawford told police the gun wasn't real before they shot him.
Relatives of the man police shot and killed in an Ohio Walmart Tuesday said he was only carrying a "toy gun" — but it wasn't exactly a Super Soaker.

John Crawford, 22, was carrying an MK-177 (.177 caliber) BB/Pellet Rifle, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announced Thursday.

The weapon, manufactured by Crosman, is also known as a variable pump air rifle.

It is highly unlikely that the MK-177 would kill a human but it can kill squirrels, snakes, rabbits or small birds if aimed properly.

It's certainly not a toy.

Public Information Officer Jill Del Greco said that the Beavercreek Police Department asked the Attorney General's Bureau of Criminal Investigation to look into the shooting.

"BCI is a state agency that only has the authority to investigate when we're requested by local law enforcement," Public Information Officer Jill Del Greco. "It's nothing that's out of the ordinary because we can act as an outside, independent agency to look at it."

Crawford's girlfriend said she was reaching out to civil rights organizations, including the NAACP and National Action Network, to seek justice, the Dayton Daily News reported.

LeeCee Johnson, the mother of Crawford's children — John Crawford IV, 1, and Jayden Crawford, 4 months — said she was on the phone with Crawford when he died.

"I feel like they shot him down like he was not even human," she told the Ohio paper.

According to Johnson, Crawford was playing video games before heading over to the toy section where he picked up the "toy gun."

Sgt. David M. Darkow (left) and Officer Sean C. Williams (right) of the Beavercreek Police were involved in the shooting of John Crawford.



"And the next thing I know, he said, 'It's not real,' and the police start shooting and they said, 'Get on the ground,' but he was already on the ground because they had shot him," she added.

Crawford, who said she was in a different part of the store at the time, wants the police to lose their jobs and go to jail for killing her boyfriend.

Beavercreek Police Chief Dennis Evers reportedly defended the actions of Sgt. Dave Darkow and Officer Sean Williams the next day at a press conference.

Emergency dispatchers received a 911 call about someone brandishing a "rifle-like weapon" at customers in the store, he said.

Evers said that Crawford did not comply with the officers' commands and that they acted appropriately, according to the Dayton Daily News.

"The response of the officers was instrumental in containing the situation, minimizing the risk to customers," he said.

Evers did not say whether Darkow or Williams pulled the trigger.

Both officers are on paid leave while the incident is under investigation.

Tdot.. till the death of me
I find it amazing that black people like @LovelyDay can live in america in 2014 and still believe the shyt that police say :why:

Just about how many cases of cops making up stories to justify their racism will it take for people to understand that what they say is irrelevant when it comes to minorities? Jesus christ

:snoop:

That Lovely Day poster definitely posts on Bedwench Alley. Last couple of posts I've seen from her have been ridiculous.

First claiming a 15 year old kid should be sent to prison for watching porn and now that c00n post. What's even more shocking is that 35 posters agreed with it. :what:

BEAVERCREEK, Ohio —

An Ohio man is dead after police are called into a Walmart for reports of a man walking through the store with a rifle. It turns out, a law enforcement source for WHIO said, that it wasn't a real gun but a toy, either a BB or pellet gun, that he had opened at the store Tuesday night.

WHIO reported a couple were in the hardware department when they saw John Crawford walking past them with a rifle pointed toward the sky. They followed Crawford through the store as they called 911 and warned other shoppers to stay away.

One witness, Ronald Ritchie said Crawford "was just waving it at children and people. Items.... I couldn't hear anything that he was saying. I'm thinking that he is either going to rob the place or he's there to shoot somebody else." The man looked kind of serious, Ronald Ritchie said. "He didn't really want to be looked at and when people did look at him, he was pointing the gun at them. He was pointing at people, children walking by."

Ritchie said he wasn't pointing it as if he was going to shoot, but waving it in their direction.

The couple didn't know police had arrived until they saw four or five officers appear in the pet section, where Crawford was standing.

"I heard, 'put it down, put it down,' " April Ritchie said. "I heard two shots after I saw him turn. He still had the weapon in his hand."

The Ritchies said the man fell backward when he was hit by the gunfire, but got back up and went toward the officer who shot him. That officer then tackled the man. Officers then handcuffed him and turned him on his back, Ronald Ritchie said.

Meanwhile, Crawford's relatives have contacted civil rights organizations, the NAACP and National Action Network, because they don't believe the shooting was justified.

LeeCee Johnson, the mother of Crawford's children, was on the phone with him when police shot him.

Johnson said Crawford was in that area visiting family, Dayton Daily News reported.

“We was just talking. He said he was at the video games playing videos and he went over there by the toy section where the toy guns were. And the next thing I know, he said, ‘It’s not real,’ and the police start shooting and they said, ‘Get on the ground,’ but he was already on the ground because they had shot him,” she said, adding: “And I could hear him just crying and screaming. I feel like they shot him down like he was not even human.”

Lamon Brown, Crawford's cousin, said, “He does not own (a rifle-like weapon). We think it was a toy,” We actually think it was a toy. After these things happen, they usually report what kind of gun it was, but they’re not saying what kind of gun it was."

Tasha Thomas, who identified herself as Crawford’s girlfriend and appeared in the audience with his family members at Wednesday’s police news conference, said that Crawford has two children and that she has known him for four months.

She said she drove him to the Walmart after picking him up at an outlet mall in Cincinnati. He was not armed when he entered the Walmart, she said. She said she was with him in the store, but was in another aisle when he was shot, Dayton Daily News reported.

“He did not have any type of gun on him,” she said. “It’s not fair.”

So this man got shot, fell backwards onto the ground, used his super human black man strength to get back up, went towards the officers, and the officers decided to magically stop shooting him and instead tackle him to the ground and arrest him? These honkies dont even have to sound convincing anymore. They're just making up any bullshyt that pops in their heads.
