Authorities say a 12-year-old girl covered her face with a bandanna and used a stolen, loaded handgun to try to rob a suburban Detroit grocery store.
The Oakland County Sheriff's Department says the three employees at Country Lake Market managed to overpower the girl Friday night and held her until deputies arrived.
Despite the bandanna, one employee says she recognized the girl. The store is in Highland Township, about 30 miles northwest of Detroit.
Sheriff Michael Bouchard tells WWJ-AM says the girl is being prosecuted as an adult. He says she broke into a neighbour's house to steal the gun and says it was loaded, with a bullet in the chamber.
