A 12-year-old boy in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, has been charged after allegedly pulling a gun on a teenage girl near an elementary school, a troubling case for the community even though no one was hurt.
- Prosecutors charged the boy with terroristic threatening and firearm offenses.
- Honolulu police say he threatened to shoot the girl's brother along Fort Weaver Road near Pohakaya Elementary School.
- School staff found the gun in his backpack, and police arrested him on campus.
- The boy has not been named because he is a minor.
Outlook: The case now moves through the juvenile justice system, and it will likely fuel local debate over how a child got access to a gun and school safety in the area.
