Armed Texas eighth-grader shot and killed by police

(CNN) -- A 15-year-old student was shot and killed by police after he brandished a weapon in the hallways of a south Texas middle school, officials said Wednesday.

"The student engaged the officers and was shot," the Brownsville Police Department said in a statement.

An ambulance was called, and it rushed the student to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to Israel Tapia, a spokesman for Cameron County Justice of the Peace Kip V. Johnson Hodge.

No other students or employees were injured.

School officials and students have since been sent to a nearby high school gymnasium while authorities investigate.

Well, if he's 15 and still in the 8th grade, we know he was an idiot...

It's Texas. People hold their kids out of first grade till they are 7 or 8 so they can play football. Also see Florida.

I'm not surprised. Brownsville a terrible place. It makes Bakersfield look nice. It also makes Bakersfield look smart.

Depending on when his birthday falls a 15 year old 8th grade isn't that uncommon...

If his birthday was around August-September, it's not that bad. I was 14 in 8th grade, my birthday was in September. I was one of the older kids in my class, but my class had kids born between August through July.

So say the kid is held back one year, or his parents redshirt him for sports, that would explain why he is 15. You guys are making it sound like he was held back 3 or 4 times, which doesn't appear to be the case. This kid would've been 19 when he graduated, instead of 18 like most other kids.
