As reported by The Sun, Pippa was in an Audi convertible with three guys when the driver took out the gun and showed it in broad daylight. Not only that, he waved it in the air and pointed it at a photographer who snapped a photo staring directly into the barrel of the weapon!
The 27-year-old sister-in-law of Prince William sat in the front passenger seat at the time. A source told the newspaper, "If the evidence points to her involvement, she will be prosecuted. Anybody involved in the illegal use of a handgun in public is liable to arrest and interrogation."
