An 11-year-old boy has been accused of threatening another 11-year-old boy with a BB gun.
The boy, whose name cannot be revealed due to his age, began arguing with another 11-year-old boy Jan. 23 on Shellbank Road near First Colony Beach and Marina, Stephanie Williams with the James City County Police Department said.
During the verbal fight, the suspect displayed a BB gun from his front pocket and told the boy, “You don’t want to mess with me. I have a gun and I will shoot you,” a police report said.
At that point, the juvenile ran away, and the suspect shot the BB gun toward the ground, authorities said.
Three other juveniles — a 13-year-old boy, a 13-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy — witnessed the incident.
All the juveniles involved knew each other, Williams said.
Williams said the boy is not facing any charges; the incident is being handled internally by Juvenile Intake.
