A shocking video is currently circulating on social media showing a man pull out a handgun and point it at a group of skateboarding friends in Gilbert, a suburb of Phoenix, Arizona, on Sunday.
The police confirm that they have opened an investigation into this incident, according to a local channel affiliated with NBC News.
In the excerpt posted on Twitter, we see a man, aboard a Tesla, approaching the group of young people.
Leaving his sedan, he pulls out a handgun and points it at the snowboarders, for no good reason.
The men obeyed his orders to leave the church premises.

A church official, in response to the video, claimed to know the armed individual, who lives in the area.
A school is located on the grounds of the church, which explains the presence of many young people in the followingnoon.
However, the spokesperson pointed out that he did not attend the place of worship, which surprised several Internet users on social networks.
The intimidated snowboarder filed a complaint with the authorities the next day, saying that this kind of gesture “is really not tolerable”.
