Hundreds Protest Fatal Police Shooting of Boy With Replica Gun 
---------------------------------------------------------------


 
Hundreds of people marched in Santa Rosa, California, on Tuesday to
protest the fatal police shooting of a 13-year-old boy. Andy Lopez was
shot dead after police mistook the pellet gun he was carrying for an
assault rifle. Police say the replica was missing the plastic orange
piece usually placed on toy guns.
