StupidiNews! WTH Edition

This one got me.  I really thought this story was going to go in a different direction, and was so surprised that I had to sit and just think this one through.

You have a mother in Portland, Oregon.  She had a child in a carriage, and somehow a scene broke out in which kids were kicking her carriage and an eleven-year-old boy flashed a gun at her.  She froze and then backed away, and he did not draw the gun.  Her quote was a little fuzzy, and I was really prepared to hear that it was a water gun, or some Harry Potter paraphernalia.  Maybe even a cell phone.

But no.  The cops caught him with her cooperation and the boy had a loaded gun.  On a public train.  Pointed at a mother and her infant.  Another member of this gang had a BB gun.

What.  The.  Hell.

The boy faces six charges, and will be held over the weekend.  There is no statement about his parents, or information on where the gun came from.  That's upsetting on so many levels.  I'm sure more will come out, of course expect an update.
