"The Oct. 14 call initially sparked panic and a major response from local police when a family reported three figures one dressed as horror icon Michael Myers, another as a clown, and a third as a sinister nun pounding on the front door and threatening to kill them. It's either you coming out or we coming in, one of them shouted in footage that went viral and widely broadcast on cable news."
"They were absolutely terrified when this happened, Police Chief Tarrick McGuire said Monday. Her brother responded with a firearm. So absolutely it could have resulted in deadly consequences. The prank, in turned out, involved three boys aged 14 to 16, two sons and a nephew of the prank's adult instigator. Two additional adults were reportedly in the street filming the scene, officials said."
"The investigation consumed over 100 hours of police investigative work, and although the victim has decided not to pursue charges, police scolded the adults involved. While this case may not result in prosecution, it represents a serious moral failure, McGuire said. For this community, it represents a moral failure, a moral failure where consequences could have resulted in deadly consequences."
