String of Gun Crimes Across DC Comes to a Shocking End As Police Arrest 11-Year-Old Boy

An 11-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with a series of robberies in Washington.

The D.C. Metropolitan Police Department said a gun was used in at least two of the robberies, according to WUSA-TV.

Police said that around 3 p.m. on May 21, a man who set his bicycle on his porch and went to open the door to his residence was confronted by two boys.

“I’m going to take the bike,” one boy said.

“No, you’re not,” the man replied.

At that point, the boy pulled a gun from his fanny pack, and the man ran inside the house.

Police later released surveillance video of two persons of interest wanted in this case.

Three days later, about 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, two suspects on bicycles approached a man, who told police he heard them say, “Get him” and “Get that.”

The victim fled and said a suspect pointed a gun in his direction as he ran.

On Friday, police said a man in a car was approached by a boy on a bike who said, “Give me your phone or I’ll shoot you.”

After handing the phone over, the victim said the boy handed it back saying, “Haha got you.”
