Police: Man, 70, threatened to get gun on 10-year-old girls

A Sioux Falls man was arrested Tuesday after telling 10-year-old girls he was going to get a gun when they asked about their friend, police say.

The two girls knocked on the man's door in the 8700 block of West 32nd Street around 5:45 p.m. Tuesday, said police spokesman Sam Clemens. They were looking for a friend. The man was upset by that and said he was going to get a gun, Clemens said. The girls left and told one of their fathers.

The father went to the suspect's house to ask about what happened. The suspect opened the door and pointed a .22 caliber riffle at the father, Clemens said.

Terry Lee Comp, 70, was charged with three counts of aggravated assault.

There were no injuries.
