SOUTH BEND — Police arrested a man Thursday night after complaints he pulled a rifle on several children. Officers were called to a home on 28th Street just after 8 p.m.

Kristine Rosburgh says a neighbor pulled a rifle on her children. Police say the man thought they were ringing his door bell.

"My daughter ran in the house crying. She's never been threatened with a rifle before. My son's in his own little world. No, it scared her and she's still scared," she said.

Police arrested the man on three counts of felony intimidation. They say situations with a gun could turn deadly very easily.
