The Brooklyn teenager who was shot and killed Monday by NYPD
officers while carrying a hairbrush had pulled the concealed brush
out from under his clothing and aimed it at officers as if it
were a gun, causing officers to open fire, Commissioner Ray Kelly
said Tuesday.
Kheil Coppin, 18, was pronounced dead after being shot eight
times amid a flurry of 20 bullets.
Police say the incident began after Coppin, who is mentally disturbed,
got into a dispute with his mother, Denise Owens, who then called
police. When she called 911, the teen could be heard in the background
claiming he had a gun.
"I got a gun and I'm gonna shoot you," Coppin shouted
during the call.

Owens told the operator, "This ... you know ... this kid
is a problem. You can even hear him?"
Later on, Coppin said multiple times: "I've got a (expletive)
gun!"
When officers arrived at the home in Bedford-Stuyvesant, they
could see Coppin pacing around inside the apartment, while his
mother was outside.
That's when they say he started screaming from the window in
his building along Gates Ave. before climbing out and crossing
the sidewalk, keeping one hand under his shirt. According to police,
he was ordered to stop and put his hands in the air, but refused.
