And what the heck does "making sounds like a gun being handled" mean? They "thought" it was a revolver. My revolver doesn't make any noises when I handle it. Does anybody elses here? If it does then you better get it worked on because something is loose. It sounds like it was one more thing the cops made up in their head to justify killing the guy with a nozzle in his hand.
Oh wait, maybe they saw the guy point it & heard him say "pew, pew, pew". It WAS a "small six shooter...maybe". That's what those guns sound like when they're handled.
+1. That made this story lose a lot of credibility when I read it. The only moving part it has is the plastic trigger. No slide, no hammer, nothing that would explain what they claim they heard. Seems a little too convenient.
