It was about 1 p.m. and Matthews was driving past the school that both his son and daughter attend. And it had a scope, I could see that.”Matthews, 43, had no doubt that it was a genuine weapon the man was hoisting. But then I realize, no, that’s not firecrackers.”Clements, 67, is now aware that the weapon was a pellet gun, which the SIU confirmed to the Star on Friday morning. I don’t know if police are trained to recognize what’s a pellet gun and what’s a real rifle. When asked, the SIU couldn’t or wouldn’t confirm what type of pellet gun the man had allegedly been carrying.
