He says they did, but then Tyre got up and ran and was shot, the paper reported Friday. COLUMBUS, OHIO—The 13-year-old Ohio boy who was shot dead by a policeman investigating a reported armed robbery had a real-looking BB gun and ran from police, said a friend who was with him. Tyre pulled out a gun with a laser sight, and an officer fired, hitting the boy multiple times, police said. In keeping with department policy, Mason has been placed on leave while Tyre’s shooting is investigated. A rookie officer shot the boy almost immediately after pulling up in his cruiser.
