New York Police kill 14 year old gunman

Toerag this lad may have been ... but he was still some mother's son - her only child - and just 14 years of age. What a tragic end to a young life.

Sorry Arthur, normally I agree with what you say but this time I have to strongly disagree.
What mother let's her only son out at 3am with a gun, especially as he'd already been charged with attempted murder. The only good things that have come out of this is the fact he was an only child, and now the local neighbourhood may be a slightly safer place.
