yes

Explanation:

When an Officer is called to an incidence such as this, They have to take all precautions when guns or weapons are involved. In this case they could not get close enough because of precautions. When he did not put up his hands they were shown an act of defiance. At age 12 a boy knows how to follow commands especially from a cop. When he did not listen assuming he moved around not putting up his hands the cop (s) shot at the boy.
