San Diego Boy Robs Ice Cream Truck With Gun

skinny icecreamSAN DIEGO (AP) — Police in San Diego say a boy brandishing some sort of hand gun robbed an ice cream truck driver.

Police describe the boy as between 10 and 12 years old.

The driver, who was uninjured, handed over cash and the boy rode away on a skateboard Thursday night.

Officer James Johnson said that it is possible the weapon was a pellet gun, but investigators are treating it as a real hand gun.
