Boy with toy gun said to be high when shot by cop [View all]
Andy Lopez, the 13-year-old boy who was fatally shot outside Santa Rosa last year by a county sheriff's deputy who mistook his replica AK-47 pellet rifle for a real gun, appears to have been high on marijuana at the time, according to a new report on the shooting.
The Sonoma County District Attorney's Office released the results of its investigation into Andy's death on Monday, while saying they would not file criminal charges against Deputy Erick Gelhaus.
The investigative report revealed several new details about the Oct. 22 incident, including the finding that marijuana's active ingredient was present in Andy's blood.
The marijuana, the report suggests, may have affected Andy's judgment when he was approached from behind on the street by Gelhaus and a colleague.
