Girl, 12, Accused of Armed Robbery

(Highland Township, Michigan) Last Friday, a 12-year-old local girl allegedly entered a convenience store with a loaded weapon and demanded money. She faces a charge of armed robbery as a juvenile.

Deputies received a 9-1-1 call on an attempted armed robbery about 10 p.m. Friday at the local market. Three employees were working inside the store when the girl came in, dressed in all black, including a knit cap, hoodie and scarf covering her face.

The girl pointed a loaded 9mm semi-automatic pistol and demanded money.

Despite the scarf, one of the employees recognized the girl as someone who frequented the store and thought it was joke, grabbed the gun and attempted to take it away. As a struggle ensued, the woman yelled for the worker to help her.

The girl was finally wrestled to the floor and held there by the store owner.

It was later determined that she stole the gun from a neighbor's house.

Okay, my question. How does a 12-year-old girl get the idea to commit armed robbery? Shouldn't she be playing with dolls?
