Was security guard in "Pokemon Go" killing allowed to be armed? Depends on whom you ask. [View all]

Despite the many details that have emerged since 60-year-old Jiansheng Chen was shot and killed by a security guard last month, one remains unclear.

Was the guard allowed to carry a gun that night, or not?

Representatives for the River Walk Community Association and the Chesapeake-based company hired to patrol the River Walk neighborhood – where Chen’s family say he was shot while playing “Pokemon Go” – tell different stories. The association says its contract called specifically for unarmed guards, while the company says it allowed for guns.

Johnathan Cromwell of Virginia Beach has been charged with second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the Jan. 26 killing. His attorney, Emily Munn, said in an email she had not seen the contract but her client “absolutely believed he was allowed to carry a weapon as part of his employment.”
