At that point, the footage shows Chase raising his arm and pointing the object in his hand toward the officers at the scene.
He then ducks behind a bush, out of the camera's view, as the cops take cover behind a patrol vehicle, according to CBC.
Two shots then rang out as officers rushed toward him.
Sucks all the way around. Did the cops just shot into the bush? article sucks.

Not to be a dick, but the kid may not have been compatible with society.
At a funeral over the weekend, Christine Horton, Chase's Building Academic, Social and Employment Skills program teacher, noted that Chase suffered from XXY Syndrome.
As a result, he had muscle weakness, coordination problems, hand tremors, delayed speech, explosive temper, defiant behavior and a delayed development of his social, language and learning skills, CTV News reports.
Chase only read at a second grade level and struggled to participate in class.
The teen also suffered from autism, obsessive compulsive disorder, attention deficit hyperactive disorder and bicuspid aortic valve - a heart disease.
'He had trouble processing more than one or two commands at a time and needed people to speak, pause, wait and then repeat if necessary,' Horton said as she delivered a eulogy for the boy.
'He was triggered by yelling demands that he perceived to be rude and actions that appeared to be aggressive.'

I listen to my friends say this over and over again about their 14 year old. "He has autism and they say he's equivalent to an 8 year old". No he's f***ing not, he just doesn't listen because everyone has autism now and you let him act like a jackass. It's incredible when he's out in public with me, he doesn't act autistic, when he gets in trouble at home or school "it's because I have autism". We had one retarded kid in town growing up. If you made fun of him, you got beat up. Because that was it. He was literally the one special kid that wasn't all there and literally needed everyone in town to keep an eye on him. But now everyone who doesn't want to parent blames it on autism. He's 15, out in public filming himself waving around what looks like a firearm. That's a parenting problem.

More importantly, why would he have access to a pellet pistol? So sad, but avoidable.
