Black child with toy gun shot dead by police

A 13-year-old African American boy has been shot dead by police in Columbus, Ohio after he apparently brandished a toy gun.

Officials have called for calm while they investigate what led to the death of teenager Tyree King.

The case is similar to the 2014 death of 12-year-old boy Tamir Rice, who was fatally shot after playing with a toy gun in Cleveland, Ohio.
