This 2011 photo provided by the Gonzalez family shows Jaime Gonzalez. The parents of Gonzalez are demanding to know why police officers fatally shot the 15-year-old inside his South Texas school, but police said the boy was brandishing and refused to drop what appeared to be a handgun. The weapon turned out to be a pellet gun that closely resembled the real thing, police said late Wednesday.

In an office across town, a police chief insisted that his officers had no choice.
