New Jersey Priest Allegedly Points Gun at 8-Year-Old Kid Because He Was Rooting for the Cowboys
Prior to attending mass on Sunday, Sept. 13 at St. Margaret of Cortona Roman Catholic Church in Little Ferry, N.J., Father Kevin Carter took an eight-year-old kid to a rectory room, made him stand against the wall and pointed what NBC New York reports is calling a "working Civil War-style musket" at the child. Where is this even coming from? It may have something to do with the kid being a Cowboys fan.
Per NBC New York:
Prosecutors said the priest, a Giants fan, was apparently unhappy because the boy planned to root for the Cowboys in a game against the Giants later that day.
"The young boy was apparently a fan of a particular football team, the priest was not. So perhaps we have indication it started out as that," said Molinelli.
Father Kevin Carter has been charged with aggravated assault by pointing a firearm and endangering the welfare of a child. His bail is set at $15,000 and understandably so, he has been ordered to not get into contact with the kid.
