“Why would you shoot a child that is suicidal? You are there to save him, not finish him off.”

PURCELLVILLE, VA — A community is devastated after a suicidal teenager was shot to death by police following a family’s call for help.

Christian Alberto Sierra, 17, was a popular student and athlete at Loudoun Valley High School. His friends noticed his good-natured demeanor begin to slip into a depression and ultimately toward the unthinkable. On May 24, 2014, he suffered a breakdown and threatened suicide.

While at a friend’s house on a Saturday afternoon, he began to act erratically and harmed himself with a knife. The Washington Post describes what happened:

Christian began cutting himself with a knife, his mother said, and a friend called 911 shortly after 2 p.m.

Sandra Sierra said the call worried her son, who fled the home in the 100 block of Frazer Drive by jumping off a balcony. A friend gave chase.

Kelly Sobel, a neighbor several doors down, was getting out of the shower when she heard her neighbor scream: “Stop! Stop!”

Sobel glanced out the window and saw the neighbor running down her front steps with a dish towel. Sandra Sierra said her son was bloody at that point.

Sobel said that a second later, she heard Christian Sierra and the friend chasing him barrel into her garage door with a loud boom.

The friend and her neighbor tried to calm Sierra, but he took off again, Sobel said. The friend and neighbor followed, she said. “They were flying down the street,” Sobel said.

Christian Sierra rounded a corner. Several witnesses said they heard a police officer yell “Freeze!” or “Stop!” and then heard shots. Sobel said she heard three or four pops.

Christian was shot an unknown number of times by a Purcellville police officer, who was responding to a suicide call. Christian died shortly thereafter.

His mom, Sandra Sierra, was beside herself when she heard the news.

“I banged on their car and I’m like, ‘You killed my kid. You killed my kid,’” Sandra yelled at the officer.

The officer claimed that Christian “lunged” at him, justifying the shoot. But others claim the officer was too quick to pull the trigger.

“Why would you shoot a child that is suicidal?” asked the teen’s mother. “You are there to save him, not finish him off.”

“They’re supposed to come to help and stop the suicide and they came and killed him,” said Natalie Moriarty, Christian’s aunt, to MyFoxDC.

His friends and family have had to learn a painful lesson that many others have faced; that inviting the government to resolve a crisis will often result in wanton violence and tragedy. Christian Sierra has become another victim on a growing list of folks who have been victimized by those who were supposed to come to help.

well, this one strikes close to home.

was it at 4um that i just read that 5,000 Americans have been killed by police since 9/11 making it more likely to be killed by cop than by [EDIT: OTHER] terrorists?? a Christian woman in my daughter's neck of the virginia woods was filled with bullets when a church she stopped at called the cops, and the woman, who it is believed was fearful of a sexual attack by cop tried to drive away. her husband filed a lawsuit and within months HE was dead by heart attack. these people are masquerading as public officials. they are not. they use commercial paper which makes them corporations/"persons" like any other corporation like mcdonald's. corporations are made to sue AND BE SUED. we need to sue their underwear off....AND TELL THEM DON'T CALL US WE'LL CALL YOU...AND NOT CALL THEM!!!

P.S. one day my daughter and i noticed a car in front of us with all this police insignias and masonic stuff on it. there was one bumper sticker we kept trying to read. finally my daughter figured it out. it said "God gave us police so firefighters would have someone to look up to." this is for all you pompous, murderous asses out there who think the sun rises and sets on you:
