MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A man in the Cooper-Young neighborhood says a group of children taunted and pulled a gun on him over the weekend.

The 74-year-old man said the incident occurred off Elzey and New York Street.

He said a group of about four boys, ages ranging from 8 to 12, came to his home on Saturday, trying to steal things from his yard.

Canterucci told them to leave, but the next day, he says they came back again. He said they were up the street, acting suspicious and taunting him.
