Boy tried scooter holdup with toy gun

CINCINNATI, OH The father of the two boys, Rich Harrison, says it was a frightening experience because it wasn't clear that the gun was a toy. His boys are ages 8 and 10.

Cincinnati police say the 11-year-old pointed the toy gun, saying he wanted to take one of the silver push scooters, and then chased the brothers as they raced away.

Police took the boy to the Hamilton County juvenile center, where he faces an Aug. 7 hearing. A public defender doubts the boy could understand the consequences of his behavior.
