Arlington, Texas police fatally shot a 19-year-old college student that they claim broke into a car dealership early Friday morning but some members of the dead man's family find the police version of the story hard to believe.
According to the Star-Telegram, around 1 a.m. police were notified of a burglary in progress at a GMC Classic Buick dealership. Police claim that a security company dialed in emergency help after they witnessed the suspect using his car to crash through the dealership's showroom window.
“The officers went and confronted him. There was an altercation. An officer discharged his weapon and struck the suspect,” Rodriguez told the Star-Telegram.

"Unarmed college student" makes the headline while burglar who crashed car through dealership window does not.

If one would like to live and do well, he should respect the law.

An age-old question: if a man with no arms has a gun, is he considered armed?

Hopefully, he was a honky or we’ll never hear the end of it.

The great uncle said his nephew "was set to return to college and that he excelled at football."
And we know college students and football players never break the law.

I guess technically driving through the showroom window is breaking in. Did his drug screen come back yet?

they witnessed the suspect using his car to crash through the dealership's showroom window.Goofy. Unless he had some kind of seizure causing him to loose control of his car...otherwise he was using it as a battering ram in a criminal act.
Must of been a great football player to try and get away with this.

[shrug] He was a college student, so you know he couldn’t have been actually doing anything illegal ...

"Why did you bust into the Buick dealership?"
"I was wantin' to steal me a car."
"But, you had a car. That's how you busted in."
"Oh."

Not the sharpest crayon in the box, was he?
How does someone who attempts this imagine it will end?

Well, at least he wasn’t having sex without a consent form.
