#1 Factory DA trigger pull weight on a Glock is about 5.5 pounds. Of course, it can be tuned to be lighter. How big was this 6-8 year old? I suspect the kid was trying to pull the gun from the holster and was pulling pretty hard.

#7 Making sure the kiddies are comfortable with the nice SWAT man and his neat toys. It's a wonder that the rest of the squad didn't rush in and shoot up the joint in a panic when "the gun went off".

#9 KBK, they would have shot up the kids. One of them could have chewed up a pop-tart into a dangerous weapon.

#10 District ~~A@#$%&*+s~~ Attorneys being what they are, they'll prolly file charges against the kid.
