Cleveland Heights library security guard reports threat by teen armed with fake gun

The security officer at the Lee Road branch of the library called 911 on Thursday, just before 5:00 pm.

In an audio recording from 911 the security officer says, “I couldn’t tell if it was a toy or real. But, nowadays we can’t take no chances. The library security officer said the 13-year-old has been a nuisance for the past two to three years, and was not only already banned from library property, but was already facing charges for property damage related to the public library.

But, it’s the realistic look of the toy gun that could make it so dangerous for everyone involved it’s perceived that the threat is real.

Growing up to the glamorization of gang culture, chastisement of pulling good grades, lack of adult supervision/role models, gets you to this point. As the article states, lucky it wasn’t another Tamir Rice situation. Just sad..

When your library needs a security guard, you’re overdue to fix your city.
