BB gun

EXCLUSIVE: SACRAMENTO, CA - An employee with a BB gun that looked like a real gun caused some scary moments at a south Sacramento business Thursday afternoon.

Sacramento police were called to L and D Landfill on the 8600 block of Fruitridge Road for a person armed with a gun.

According to officers, the 19-year-old worker was waving a BB gun he found. He didn't cause any harm except to frighten others who didn't know it wasn't a real handgun.

Police Sgt. Alisa Buckley said the play-acting could have been a big problem if the employee had still had the BB gun when officers arrived.
