12-year-old used BB gun to rob 10-year-old running lemonade stand (in 'mmurica)

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. - Authorities say a 12-year-old boy used a BB gun to rob a 10-year-old who was running a lemonade stand in Pennsylvania.
Johnstown Sgt. Patrick Goggin says the 12-year-old approached the stand Monday with what appeared to be a handgun in his pocket and threatened the younger boy. Goggin says the boys "got into a wrestling match over the money box" before the older boy took $30 and ran away.
Three other children chased the boy home and helped police track him down. That's when police determined the boy had a BB gun.
Police aren't identifying the suspect because he'll be charged in juvenile court where most cases remain confidential.
Johnstown is east of Pittsburgh.
When the media reports on shootings in the US, they inherently advertise it. Now even kids are doing it!
