Parents in the community of Manhasset in Long Island, New York have expressed concern after a man pulled a gun on a child over candy.
The incident was described as being “really scary” by residents in the community after a man allegedly pulled a gun on a 6-year-old boy who had been retrieving a bag of candy left at the wrong doorstep, police say, CBS News reported.
A neighbor, Marta Gabrielli said it was “really scary and disturbing, especially because this neighborhood is a really safe neighborhood filled with kids.”
A woman had been driving her three children and her nephew around on Saturday night to drop off Halloween goody bags at her friend’s houses, police say.
Her daughter and son accidentally left a bag of candy on the doorstep of a home located on Rockcrest Road. After leaving, they realized they had dropped the candy off at the wrong home and went back to retrieve it.
When the woman’s 6-year-old son went to the doorstep to get the bag of candy, Michael Wen, 43, opened the door and pulled a gun at the child’s head and reportedly screamed at him to get off of his property.
