We have a gun problem in this country, and something needs to happen before it gets too late.
One of the latest examples is a basketball game featuring LeBron James’ son Bronny and his high school team Sierra Canyon.
They were at a game in Maryland over the weekend with a packed gym vs. DeMatha Catholic in the DMV Showcase preseason event when Bronny and his teammates were rushed off the court because of a gun threat, as reported by TMZ Sports.
Reports from the game say that a fight broke out, and someone yelled gun, which caused everyone to flee. The game was stopped early, with DeMatha leading 52-51.
Horrifying moment during Bronny James’ high school basketball game over the weekend … LeBron James’ eldest son was rushed off the court after fans in the arena feared someone had a gun.
Bronny’s Sierra Canyon boys basketball team was taking on DeMatha as part of a big showcase event in D.C. on Saturday night … when suddenly, near the end of the game, chaos broke out in the stands.
There is no word if there really was a gun but it’s better to be safe than sorry with how things are today.
Fortunately, cops tell TMZ Sports that when they got to the scene, they did a “thorough search” and “did not locate a firearm.”
“There were no injuries,” a police spokesperson added.
The two teams did not come out to finish the game “out of an abundance of caution,” DeMatha head coach Mike G. Jones III tells us.
Bronny was clearly shaken up by it all … saying in a statement on his social media page after the game, “high schoolers can’t even hoop in peace now a days.”
Flip the page for the kids running off the court in fear for their lives.
