Autistic Teen Shot Nine Times by Idaho Police

A 17-year-old autistic teenager is currently in critical condition following an incident in Pocatello, Idaho, where police shot him nine times while responding to a reported disturbance. The shooting occurred on Saturday as officers arrived at his family home, where the boy was allegedly waving a knife during a mental health crisis, prompting police to fire multiple shots, resulting in severe injuries that led to the amputation of his leg.

The incident has triggered significant community backlash, with residents protesting outside the Pocatello Police Department, questioning the appropriateness of the police response to a minor experiencing a mental health episode. Supporters of the boy’s family emphasize that he was not a threat to anyone and was struggling with his mental health, highlighting the need for better training for officers in handling such situations. Authorities are urging patience as they conduct a thorough investigation into the shooting.
