Happened Saturday. Cops won't say how Jennings was a threat but his aunt was there at shooting and said the kid was unarmed but suicidal. Kid was shot 16 times.

OTTAWA, KS (KCTV) -Authorities say an 18-year-old man was shot and killed by police officers and sheriff's deputies Saturday evening outside an Ottawa hardware store.

Ottawa police were called about 7:50 p.m. Saturday to Orscheln Farm and Home at 2008 S. Princeton St. on a report of a person reportedly armed with a gun.

Deputies with the Franklin County Sheriff's Office also responded to the call.

When officers arrived, they made contact with the person, later identified as Joseph Jennings, in the parking lot.

1. More middle class white kids will have to die from police brutality before anything

will change.

Search warrants now are carried out with SWAT teams, kids killed for acting erratically, we have lost our fucking minds

2. For some reason this one isn't getting as much attention as other cases.

4. 16 times! Dam...cops just don't seem to care much and the CoP comments are offense.

Out of control cops kill unarmed teen. CoP praises cops for staying 'safe'...

5. The reporter asks the cop spokesman if Joseph Jennings had a gun.

Simple but very important question, and he wouldn't answer. Something about he can't comment because of KBI investigation. The kid's aunt and uncle were right there trying to diffuse the situation but the cops wouldn't let them. WTF is going on!? I will be following this case.
