Philadelphia police are facing questions after releasing mixed messages on an armed 12-year-old boy who was fatally shot in the back by officers on Tuesday, with the police commissioner claiming he was armed and fired at police but her deputy later saying he wasn't sure if he'd done so. Police identified the boy as Thomas Siderio Jr., saying officers took him to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center where he was pronounced dead a few minutes after the shooting. Officers said that Siderio was white. One of the four officers in the car was struck by shattered glass in the face and eye, and was treated and released, police said.
