A 15-year-old accused of pointing a gun at a security guard at Coronado Center will remain in custody. A judge ruled today that the teen posed too great a danger to the community to be released from juvenile detention.
The incident occurred in the early morning hours of September 30th. According to police, a mall security officer approached a car in the parking lot and noticed two teenagers inside. One of the teens pointed a gun at the mall security guard, who told police she thought she was about to be shot.
The teens fled the scene in the car, crashing near Interstate 40 before abandoning the vehicle and fleeing on foot. When police officers caught up with them, they discovered a handgun equipped with a switch that made it fully automatic, as well as two magazines.
The 15-year-old is facing charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, unlawful carrying of a handgun by a person under age 19, and resisting arrest.
