They were talking about this on the radio today and milking every drop of drama out of it. The police officer was a superhuman hero for spotting the orange tip, and the kid was soooooo lucky he immediately obeyed the command to drop the weapon, yada yada yada. Now I am as happy as the next person that it ended well, but I can't help but think that the hysterical housewife who placed the call originally was over-reacting just a tad bit. Some towns have open carry, so is it prudent to call 911 just because someone is carrying a gun? And were they wearing masks or was she so busy looking at the gun she didn't see they were 15 year old kids? Maybe I am just in touch with my inner cynic today....but my take is that this person who was hyper sensitive to guns almost got these kids killed.
