Shocking video shows an armed 12-year-old boy robbing a Michigan gas station and shooting when a confused employee asks, “Are you serious?”
The boy told cops that “he didn’t do it for the money” after he was arrested after a brazen attack in broad daylight at 16:00 on Wednesday at the Marathon gas station in Hartford.
“He said he would throw the money down the drain. He would not explain why he did it, “Lieutenant Mike Prince told WZZM 13.
The video shows the child waiting in line behind another customer at the counter before approaching the employee and asking her to hand over the money.
“Put the money in the bag,” the kid says as he pulls a gun from his backpack.
A terrified shop assistant asks him, “What?” Before the boy repeats his request.
“Are you serious?” She asks.
In response, the boy took the pistol and aimed it at the ceiling and fired a single warning shot. The employee trembles with fear.
“OK!” She shouted, taking the bag of money behind the counter.
“Here. Get out. Bye. Take it,” she tells the boy as she puts the bank deposit bag in his backpack.

He then casually left the front of the store before reportedly escaping.
Hartford Police Chief Tresa Beltran was returning to the police station, one block from the gas station, when she received the robbery call, WZZM reported. The boss reached the gas station in 90 seconds, and other employees arrived shortly afterwards, police told television.
The boy was arrested a few blocks away, cops said.
According to police, the 12-year-old boy went to school that day and discussed with a classmate which gas station would be the easiest to rob in the city.
“Every day I see something new in this work. I have been a full-time police officer for 38 years. “What really struck me was that he didn’t show any emotion,” Lieutenant Prince told WZZM.
