BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA — A gang of suspects arrested for stealing guns last weekend planned to use them to kill cops, according to Baton Rouge police. <br /> <br />The gang, which included a 13-year-old boy, broke into a Cash America pawn shop on Saturday, the Advocate reported. <br /> <br />They stole eight handguns and a BB gun before the burglary was interrupted by a responding police officer. Three of the suspects fled but Antonio Thomas, 17, was arrested at the scene. <br /> <br />“We're going to look for bullets to kill police officers,” Thomas allegedly admitted to investigators, according to the Advocate. <br /> <br />Police later arrested the 13-year-old boy, Malik Bridgewater, 20, and Trashone Coates, 23. Coates, who is not thought to be one of the burglars, allegedly bought two handguns from the gang on the street. <br /> <br />Police are looking for one unidentified suspect. Two of the stolen handguns are still missing. <br /> <br />Tensions are high in Baton Rouge after police in the city last week shot and killed 37-year-old black man Alton Sterling. Sterling’s death is believed to be one of the factors which motivated Dallas sniper Micah Johnson to kill five cops.
