"Robbery detectives were briefed by officers at the scene but, due the age of the child suspects, they were both placed into the custody of their families as they cannot be taken to the Donald E. Long Juvenile Detention Home. "After dropping off the 11-year-old at his parent's house, he took off running from police but was quickly caught again and left in the custody of his parents. "All reports will be given to the Juvenile Court for follow-up and detectives will continue to investigate how the 11-year-old boy was able to obtain a firearm."
Officers told the 11-year-old to keep his hands out of his pockets but he ignored the officers and tried putting his hand back in his pocket. Officers grabbed his arms and recovered a cocked and loaded .22 caliber handgun in his pocket.
"Garrett told officers that the 7-year-old told the 11-year-old to "show her your piece" and the 11-year-old lifted his shirt and showed her a gun.
"The woman told police that she refused to give them the truck and the kids then demanded her phone and money, telling her that they couldn't leave without something and they threatened to shoot her if she didn't give them something. The woman again refused to give them anything and she drove away, calling 9-1-1. As she pulled away she saw the 11-year-old pull the gun from his pocket.

Perhaps its a sad view of American society from the other side of the pond but since you love your guns as a cultural part of life its hardly surprising that kids will follow their parents so if mummy/daddy takes their gun everywhere then little junior will follow the example, and thank god someone with some sense was able to get the gun from the kid before it went bad as kids want to follow what the adults do but some things are best left till later in my opinion
