AK-47 Toy

What Is It?

It's a AK-47 replica so kids have something to point at others shouting "pew pew"

What Happened?

In 2013, 13 year old Andy Lopez was playing with his AK-47 replica and a Police Officer asked Andy to drop his weapon (believing it to be real).  For some reason Andy did not drop it, and the Officer then shot Andy 7 times (in a matter of 6 seconds) killing him instantly.

Aftermath?

Strict enforcement that all toy guns have an orange tip or be brightly colored.
