Juvenile Arrested with Loaded AR-Style Pistols in Richardson, North Charleston

Two separate incidents involving juvenile suspects and firearms were reported in Richardson, Texas, and North Charleston, South Carolina. In Richardson, police responded to an aggravated robbery where a juvenile suspect, armed with a handgun, fled but was apprehended after an officer-involved shooting; no injuries were reported. In North Charleston, a juvenile was arrested for carrying a loaded AR-style pistol after officers observed suspicious behavior and a physical struggle ensued when they attempted to detain him. During the arrest, the juvenile reportedly attempted to draw the weapon but was subdued and later released to a guardian. Both cases underscore concerns about juvenile involvement with firearms and law enforcement's efforts to manage these situations safely. Investigations and legal processes are ongoing in both locations.
