Rose and Daniel Wagner were out walking in the Pennsylvania town of Oakmont, near Pittsburg, when Daniel was hit by a . . . pumpkin.

I love pumpkins! I love the pumpkin patch at our church, Trinity United Methodist, in Rome, Georgia.  Pumpkins should NOT be used as weapons!  Even in a prank.

Four teens, two 15-year-olds, a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old,m turned themselves into the police. They confessed to stealing pumpkins, then tossing the pumpkin from their vehicle.

The prank was caught on a surveillance camera at a school nearby and the vehicle, an SUV, was recognized.
