In Georgia, the family of a 17-year-old ROTC student who was shot and killed by a police officer says police mistook a video game controller the teenager was holding for a gun. Police shot dead Christopher Roupe on Feb. 14 when officers showed up at his mobile home to serve a probation violation warrant for his father. Police had claimed the teenager pointed a gun at the time of the shooting, but the family says a Nintendo Wii video game controller was in his hands.
