David Orr

Deadly force

Las Vegas police were patrolling an alleyway in an area known for high drug activity when they saw a small boy in a diaper walking by himself. One of the officers recognized him as the son of David Orr, who had lost custody of the boy that year. Police called Child Protective Services, who told them to take the boy into custody. Orr confronted the officers and became upset, eventually retrieving what later turned out to be a BB gun. He pointed it at an officer, who, believing it was a real gun, fired once.
