A 12-YEAR-OLD New York City boy is accused of pulling a gun on a classmate and demanding that she give him her chicken nugget.

Police say the girl smacked the gun away and told the boy to leave her alone.
The girl reported the incident to school officials the next day and the boy was taken into police custody for attempted robbery. The gun was not found, and it’s unclear if it was real.
