Young boys killing with guns is very very common place in some neighborhoods.
Truth.
Growing up I carried a toy gun around from pretty much the time I could walk and stalked then neighbors with them. One actually even fired cork balls.
Graduated to BB guns as soon as I was able to overcome my parents better judgment and a 22 soon after that (didn't stalk the neighbors with those, BTW)
In today's word I would probably have been shot many times over by the cops.
Not sure if that is the same. The first thing children are taught, even with a BB gun, is to NEVER POINT IT AT A PERSON.
Was this kid pointing the gun at people? The video I saw was blurry, so I couldn’t tell for sure but it looked like he was brandishing the gun in a manner that, to me, would have been concerning.
If someone has a gun, ANY gun- including a “toy” BB gun, they would be expected to hold it, display it, and use it in a safe manner at all times.
