A 7-year-old boy in Tennessee recalled the terrifying moments he was robbed at gunpoint in an incident that has also left his family and community shaken.
Kamari Harden said he was walking home from the Riverview Community Center in south Memphis on March 18 at 9 p.m., when a teenager ambushed him, pinned him to the ground, and stole cash out of his pocket.
Kamari told WREG that the teen tripped him up, causing him to fall to the ground. At that point, the suspect kneeled over Kamari, rummaged through his pockets, and took two $5 bills. He told his mother and police that two teens were involved in the theft, and that they also robbed two other young boys who were with him.
