A sleepless night I've had....My son and his friend went to play basketball late evening (around 4:30). When they arrived, only 2-3 guys were there....Then a car pulled up with 4 guys in it...they got out...and pointed to my son, saying "Empty those pockets"...My son said "NO"...One guy walked up to my son and reached under his shirt for a gun...my son was shocked and started running....zig-zagging...and the guy with the gun started chasing him....My son was so confused and scared...he ran right up to a chain-link fence...started climbing it to get away...
The guy with the gun shot off 2 shots...and as soon as he reached the fence, all my son could do was kick at him...and was able to kick the guy in the face and knock him down. The gun flew out of the guy's hand and then my son jumped on the guy and beat the crap out of him....and threw the gun over the fence....My son looked up, and the other 3 guys were running towards him...so my son climbed the fence and ran and ran...all the time shouting "Call the police"....
Someone did call the police...and they arrived before the man on the ground could escape.....the other 3 guys jumped into their car and left....
The police saw my son as a gas station and took him back to the basketball court where my son told them what happened....While running from the men my son's wallet fell out of his pocket....the police and my son looked all over but could not find out....his DL/SS card and all his ID were in it, along with approximately $15....
They arrested the man for Aggravated Battery w/a gun...and had my son point the man out in a line up...the man would not tell the Police who the other guys were....The man now is in jail.
MY son came home around 1AM (the police brought him home)....he was exhausted and scared to death!......and since they could not find my son's wallet...we now worry that one of the men might have it....and know my son's address and name....
So my plan is to take my son to stay with my older son on the other side of town until he goes to Court to testify...For this crime, the man will face 10 years in prison (that's in Florida)....I encouraged my son to shave his moustache and let his hair grow out also...and to keep a low profile...will take him to get new DL/SS and other ID's he has lost....
And my not being a religious person...I did get on my knees tonight and Thanked God for saving my son's life....It was a very close call he had and it really shook him up......And all this just for $15...that was all he had in his wallet....
