Funeral services have been set for a 13-year-old Ohio boy fatally shot by a Columbus police officer investigating a report of armed robbery.

Attorneys for the family of Tyre King say the funeral will take place Saturday morning at a Columbus church. The services are open to the public.

Police say Officer Bryan Mason shot Tyre on Sept. 14 after the boy ran and pulled a BB gun that looked like a real firearm.

In announcing Tyre’s funeral, his family said it “stands in solidarity” with others recently killed by police.
