CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — FBI agents who went to an apartment in an enclave of Chattanooga to investigate an associate of the gunman who killed five people last week, found themselves confronting a teenager with a toy rifle.
A law enforcement source told CBS News the agents went to the Mountain Creek Apartment complex in Red Bank, Tenn., to follow up on a lead on a person linked to Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez who lives in the apartment.
Agents had been to the apartment a few times in the past, but had not found the occupant there before.
The agents moved to the back of the building, but they encountered a 15-year-old boy pointing an air soft rifle at some of them, who yelled for him to get down.
It took several orders before he complied, but the agents eventually got control of the situation.
FBI Special Agent Ed Reinhold told CBS News affiliate WDEF the boy was searched and a handgun was discovered on him. But both the handgun and rifle turned out to be air soft guns. Another agent at the scene said the kid was not charged with any crime, but given a warning.

I guess muslim lives matter.

what was the warning ???
“You need a real gun, sonnie” ???
I sympathize, but they handled the situation correctly. In America, police officers are not on a “search and destroy” mission. We’ve seen too much of that crap.
“The little prick should be dead.”
If he were, could you imagine the outrage and the endless hand-wringing by the media that would be taking place?
IMHO
“Armed” should be the word in quotes.
Kid was lucky he didn’t have a dog...
Enclave? Would that happen to be a area with a high density of Amish?
