Mom of Bronx teen who allegedly shot at cops says he’s a ‘sweet child’

Cops recovered this 22 caliber handgun in Tremont Wednesday night after 15-year-old Shaun Crandle allegedly fired it at them as he fled.

Cops call the 15-year-old gunslinger they say fired on them a wanna-be murderer, but his mom says he’s a “sweet child.”

“Wow, I can’t believe it. My boy is a good kid. He’s a sweet child,” Shaun Crandle’s mother told the Daily News at the Bronx court where her son was arraigned Thursday.

Crandle allegedly ran from cops on E. 170th St. near Fulton Ave. in Tremont Wednesday night, then wheeled around and fired a .22-caliber revolver at them.

He faces attempted murder and weapons charges and was held on $ 50,000 bond.
