The details are still extremely sketchy, but the cops apparently heard a gunshot from the car, which as we now know from them, was from the driver "shooting himself," which in turn prompted the police to shoot, 11 ****ing times, until they ceased so the other passenger could get out of the car. One kid is dead, and the other is in custody. I am calling bull**** on this story.

News outlets are calling it a "shootout."
