It may be a crime to use a toy gun to rob someone or whatever and rightly so, it is still just a toy, even if it is percieved as real, it is not a weapon. Anyone that thinks they are going to use a toy gun in a real life situation deserves to get shot.

The story is just full of fail. It is an almost unbelieveable story and a horribly written piece that is about as full of fail as the scenario itself.

Scott ordered the man to strip naked in the middle of Laurens Street, took $800 from him and forced him to march into the laundry room of a nearby apartment building.

"He starts beating him, telling him to get more money, saying, 'Get me a cell phone or I'm going to kill you,'" said Sgt. Dennis M. Raftery Jr., a supervisor in the Police Department's homicide unit. "He is beating him with the butt of a sawed-off shotgun."

Raftery said the shotgun, then pointed at Scott, discharged, hitting Scott in the stomach and killing him. Authorities said his death will be ruled accidental.
