The owner of a stolen car in Denver successfully tracked down his vehicle with an app but wound up killing a 12-year-old boy in an ensuing shootout, say police. The unidentified driver approached his vehicle once he found it and was "involved in an exchange of gunfire" with its occupants, according to a police statement. The boy later identified as Elias Armstrong then drove the vehicle about two blocks, where police found him inside it with a gunshot wound, reports the New York Times. Elias was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

I think the “exchange of gunfire” part proves the perp was armed and dangerous.

Unless the child is genetically a Bad Seed psychotic or young gang member, this is probably the result of failed parenting. A 12 year old should be at home doing his Sixth Grade homework, not stealing cars and firing shots.
This kid was unlikely to ever “straighten out”.

Too baby mama; “you did that”
No tears shed here.
Prayers up for car owner.
Stupid decisions have stupid consequences baby mama absent/failed baby daddy

Many a G.I. in Nam learned the hard way that a child can kill you just as dead as an adult.

He buys a gun,
Steals a car,
Tries to run,
But he don't get far,
ends up layin' face-down in the street with a gun in his hand
Gee, nobody saw this coming.

Can the gun-toting car thief’s carcass be sold for maggot food to reimburse the cost of the bullets used to stop him?
