HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) -- Authorities say a South Florida police
officer fatally shot a 16-year-old suspect at a gas station
convenience store.

Miami-Dade police say the Homestead officer responded to the
Chevron station Thursday night after a clerk pushed an alarm panic
button. Officials say the officer repeatedly ordered Danny Cruz to
show his hands before firing.

According to the Miami Herald (http://bit.ly/y4hBrJ),
investigators found a .380 handgun in Cruz's right jacket pocket.

The officer has been placed on administrative duty, which is
routine for police shootings.
