"The killing of Keith Vidal, 18, of Boling Springs Lakes, NC, over the weekend has spurred a state investigation into the teen's death and a family's call for answers as they say police shot Vidal in cold blood.

Family of Vidal said they called police on Sunday afternoon to help subdue the 90-pound teen who was holding a small screwdriver and threatening to fight his mother during a schizophrenic episode. Two officers responded to the family's home and restrained Vidal. Then, a third officer arrived and soon thereafter reportedly shot Vidal, Mark Wilsey, Vidal's step-father, told reporters during a press-conference on Monday.

According to Wilsey, as the first two officers were restraining Vidal, the third officer walked into the family's house and said "I don't have time for this. Tase him. Let's get him out of here," Wilsey said. At that point, one of the officers used a stun gun on Vidal. The young man hit the ground and "this guy shot him," Wilsey said."* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.
