TJ Siderio shooting: Former Philadelphia police officer charged with murder in 12-year-old's death

Siderio died after being rushed to Presbyterian Hospital, according to police.

On March 9, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said the officer violated the department's use of force directive in the shooting and she suspended the officer for 30 days with intent to dismiss. "I have made the decision to utilize Commissioner’s Direct Action to suspend Officer #1 with the intent to dismiss the officer at the end of 30 days due to violations of our use of force directive," Outlaw said."Tj was a great wonderful kid," said Thomas Lawler III, Siderio's grandfather. "He would help anybody out. He loved his family and friends. He loved everybody.

the armed juvenile fired a shot at the passenger's side window and narrowly missed the officers. 'Tj was a great wonderful kid,' said Thomas Lawler III, Siderio's grandfather. 'He loved everybody.' Sorry Pops...he did not!

Allegedly shot at police lmao

This city is a fucking mess. First what is a 12 year old doing with a gun? Maybe they should charge the parents for that. And second HE SHOT AT THE POLICE!! he got what he deserved. Criminals shoot people in this shithole city everyday and are out on bail but a cop is locked

I cant get my mind around the idea of a 12 year old running the streets without a curfew or a parent that cares. Cops executing people? i'm used to that unfortunately. But still, when I was 12 I was playing Nintendo.

Holy fuck ..you all who voted for this ..the city is a dumpster fire at this point

*after shooting and trying to execute police officers. He deserved it

Here's a nice pic of the little thug !

Self defence....in philly you get a gun for your 8th birthday....been there

This is why shooting deaths are off the chart in Philly. The cops are being arrested instead of the gun criminals SMH. How are they gonna arrest a cop for murder when the kid shot FIRST?!

Wow. Murder?

That story didn't sound right when it was first being reported.
