Boy Detained After Allegedly Pulling Fake Gun on Dollar Tree Customers

A disturbing scene unfolded at a Dollar Tree after a young person allegedly pulled what appeared to be a fake gun on customers inside the store.

Video circulating online later shows the boy being detained by police, where he could be heard directing a racial slur at an officer during the encounter.

Thankfully, the weapon was reportedly not real, but the situation still caused alarm among customers and prompted a police response.

The full circumstances surrounding the incident, including whether the juvenile is facing charges, have not yet been fully confirmed.
