PHILADELPHIA -- Some children playing in the snow in West Philadelphia Wednesday got a scare when a man they hit with a snowball allegedly pulled a gun on them.

The incident allegedly happened Wednesday morning in the 4400 block of Haverford Avenue.

Police said the 51-year-old man was hit in the face with a snowball. He then reportedly pointed a gun at several kids involved.

Police have not filed charges against the man, so NBC 10 News is not releasing his name. Investigators said they are getting a search warrant for his home.

Ha, that pic. brings back memories of being young, dumb and stupid and doing the same thing on my college campus. We used large chunks of frozen road scrapings to add "support" to our creations.

The campus LEO's were even dumber when the got a truck from the maintenance yard to mow down the offending snowmen and crumpled the front quarter panel.

He should have secretely made a snow ball and put it in his freezer to get the kids at a later date (summer).

as you know, they turn to ice if left in the freezer that long...

Better yet, save it until they are 18.
