WARNING From Law Enforcement about Toy Guns

Toy guns are causing real dangers right here in Tulsa. And police say the toys could end up getting someone killed.

Earlier this month Tulsa police confiscated a B-B gun that looked like a nine millimeter weapon. Officers fired at the robbery suspect who had it. To the officers, it looked like a semi-automatic pistol.

Last weekend Owasso police arrested a 16 year-old boy who was carrying a pellet gun. They say it looked like a Colt 45.

Sgt Wayne Allen, Tulsa Police:"For parents who purchase these type B-B guns for their children, I think they need to be under very close supervision when you're playing with these guns; they do look very much like a real firearm. Police often mistake them for a real firearm."

Police are warning parents to take the toy guns as seriously as they would a real gun.
