 Nobody here wants to shoot a 16-year-old, but they're armed with real guns. They're not airsoft guns. They're not BB guns. They're real guns. And this is happening so frequently that it is just a matter of time that one of our officers will be put in a position to take the life of somebody that's 16 years old. The Portland Police Department has reported 23 confirmed shooting incidents in Portland so far this year. In February, police uncovered a drug trafficking ring run by teenagers in Cumberland County.
