    My only notes are that it should say “Officer shot and killed 17-year-old while conducting a welfare check.”

    I think the news would have to put allegedly in there somewhere.

      No ‘allegedly’ required in the passive version, so not required in the active version

        ‘Allegedly’ is not required because they are quoting the state police:

        A teenager was shot and killed by a police officer responding to a residence in Nebraska to conduct a welfare check, state police said.
