This I guess could happen anywhere.



NEWPORT NEWS
A Virginia Beach man who arranged to sell a gun in the parking lot of an elementary school on Aug. 27 was robbed, police said.
The 23-year-old man planned to sell a .45-caliber gun to the buyer in the parking lot of Magruder Elementary School at 1712 Chestnut Ave., police wrote in a news release. When he arrived, shortly before 8 p.m., two men approached and one identified himself as the buyer.
The man who said he was there to buy the gun showed the seller that he was armed and his companion took the seller’s gun.
The robbers fled on foot. Police did not have a detailed description of the two men.

Police did not have a detailed description of the two men.

They were two angry black men, about 20 years old, 6 ft tall, 180 pounds, and wearing long white T-shirts and blue baseball caps . . . just like 30% of the population of Newport News.

[FlexBravo]

Seems ironic to sell a gun only to get robbed. Accourding to the report "showed the seller that he was armed" I mean...wasn't the seller too? Guess not.
