olice in Euharlee, Georgia - about 50 miles northwest of Atlanta - however, claim that Christopher Roupe pointed a gun at the female officer when he opened the door, which prompted her to fire a live round at the aspiring military man. No witnesses reported seeing the boy holding any weapons, and authorities won't say whether a weapon was found at the scene. 'It just doesn't add up,' Cole Law, who is representing the Roupe family, told wsbtv.com. As for the claim that Roupe was holding a gun, Law says he's seen no evidence supporting the officer's claim. 'We don't know where that statement came from. The eyewitnesses on the scene clearly state that he had a Wii controller in his hand. He heard a knock at the door. He asked who it was, there was no response so he opened the door and upon opening the door he was immediately shot in the chest,' Law said.
