A 13-year-old boy used a handgun to rob a Peoria bank before police caught him hiding in a nearby garage after a foot chase.

Police say the teen used the gun to rob South Side Bank on Monday. They say he fled the bank with the weapon and a bag of money wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, black pants and a red bandana on his face.

Police apprehended him 36 minutes after the robbery was reported. They say the money bag contained a red dye package that had exploded. Police say the teen's sweatshirt was covered with red dye.

Authorities found the gun and money near where they arrested the boy.

Kids will be kids
So who's to blame, parents, schools, capitalism? Charge him as an adult?

Charge him as an adult; handguns are for adults, and since he thinks he can handle one...

That's also why you open the money bag away from you or something. Silly kid needs to watch more movies.

It's not like he was gonna kill someone, I highly doubt he was there for that. If they hadn't given him he money he might just have scampered off.

How do you know that? He had a gun, he could have easily just pulled the trigger on someone

Dumb ass, the dye is supposed to ruin the money, not your clothes.

Yeah I know I don't I'm just saying we don't know if he would have killed someone
I mean if it comes out this guy owned every gta game ever made I would definitely go with towards the would have pulled the trigger side. He could just have easily wanted some money, saw how easy it seemed on tv and gone out and tried. If this was the case the only likely reason he probably would have pulled the trigger would be to either scare someone or by accident.
