According to local media accounts, a 12-year-old kid fired a warning shot while robbing a petrol station in Hartford, Michigan, on June 1.
The child, who asked not to be identified because he is a minor, pointed the revolver at the petrol station clerk and instructed her to "put the money in the bag."
"Are you serious?" the cashier said as she approached a safe behind the counter.
