BEVERLY HILLS (WWJ) – A 10-year-old boy says three teenagers pulled a gun on him during recess at a high-end summer camp in Beverly Hills.

As WWJ Newsradio 950′s Marie Osborne reports, the mother is so shaken by the incident she did not want her name revealed. She just wants to sound a warning to parents they need to check safety procedures at summer camps.

The mother said her son and another boy approached three teens during a recess at Camp Beverly Hills Club Monday afternoon offering a game of basketball, when one of the teenagers pulled a gun. Her son says the gunman told them not to move and fired the gun in the air. After asking for the shoes of one of the boys, the teens reportedly called them “suckers” and ran off.

“My son and the other boy went up to the counselor to tell him that there were three teenagers in the park with a gun and the counselor did nothing. He continued on with recess.”

The mother said police were not called in for a while and parents were not notified of the incident.

“I’m most upset about how it was handled. How it took so long to call police, the fact that they never called the parents of the two boys in the incident and I want other parents to know.”

The mother said when she confronted the camp owner, he offered her future camp privileges for free, promising to change camp policies. Meantime, the boys are cooperating with police, trying to identify the teenagers involved.

“He actually described the gun to the detective. It was a black gun. The detective asked him if it had a yellow tip, he said no, it’s a black gun with two, with red stripes on each side.”

Beverly Hills police would not comment on the ongoing investigation.  An attorney for the club says the club has taken every precaution to protect the children.

    I could make a socioeconomic joke about Beverly Hills, but Californians would jump all over me.

      It happened in Beverly Hills, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. Any questions? The chance it wasn’t blacks is not worth considering. This article lives up to liberal standards by the photo and omission of facts.

    all this trash talk would have been a lot less, if from the start the MSM were truthful and gave full descriptions to all crimes whoever they were, it became apparent many crimes were being committed by Blacks, far out numbering their % of population……. so in the end the MSM did much more harm than the so called good they wanted to archive… Same with Drugs, Aid’s etc etc..

    >>> After asking for the shoes of one of the boys, the teens reportedly called them >>> “suckers” and ran off.

    So were the kid’s shoes taken? It is left unclear. My guess would be no, but the point should be clarified. Also, if the gun was fired into the air, it should be possible to find where the bullet landed, and use it to help identify the type of gun involved, and if such a gun is found, to determine if it is the actual gun involved. If no bullet is found, it may be that it wasn’t a real gun, it may have been a starter’s pistol or something similar, shooting blanks.

    Why expect anything less? What’s racial majority population in jail? Who holds the majority of unwed and fatherless families? Who shoots up a Mc Donald’s over the wrong order or calls 911 for a bad chicken order? Who makes you think twice about personal security in parts of town?

    These are the literal animals that we are allowing to extort and terrorize society. With no central family unit to teach values this will come very soon to your doorstep.

    This still rings very true today from the Warsaw Ghettos in WWII and the Nazis

    In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up.

    A black gun with 2 red stripes on the side? The BS flag is thrown out on that one…

    if you don’t know what “teenagers” is media code for…

    http://www.todaystmj4.com/news/local/126825018.html

    that goes for “youths”, “miscreants”, “young people” and a host of other words as well.

    I think the correct term is “suckas”.
