Good for her for speaking up. Takes a lot of courage to have a child or your child arrested, for most sane people that is.

Glad it ended with no one getting shot or dying. Must have been tough for the mother to call the cops knowing her son had a gun. In the past that scenario hasn’t work out to well for the person with the gun.

Mom made a good call. She didn't want to raise a criminal.
