A Mississippi campground facility has fired a white employee accused of pulling a gun on a black couple trying to find a picnic site.

Franklin and Jessica Richardson said they were looking for a spot for a picnic and a possible cabin Sunday at Oktibbeha County Lake, near Starkville. When they arrived at the location with their dog, a woman wearing a yellow Kampgrounds of America shirt -- the company that runs the site -- asked them to leave because they didn't have a reservation, the couple told CNN affiliate WCBI. The Richardsons said they were not doing anything that would be considered a threat to anyone.

Employee puts gun back into her pocket In the video, the unidentified woman asked the couple to leave before she put the gun back into her pocket."Well I'm just telling you you need to leave because it's under private ownership," she said."You can't be out here."The couple said as they left the facility, they talked to another employee who happened to be the woman's husband, and he told them they did not need a reservation to be at the lake.

black on white CNN will not report

Dumpsters America. Vote in 2020 and get rid of him. Please.

Accused? I mean ... There's video. It's a fact.

Who doesn’t love having a gun pulled on them while picnicking? Seriously why isn’t this fat bitter old hag in jail right now?

I’ve been harassed in the hood, no body got fired.

Cnn. I use you as a check and balance for all the bs being injected into our news, but what difference does it make as to the race of the employee? You can't have it both ways when it comes to racism!

Some idiot pulled a gun on a couple. With that said, when was the last time cnn had a headline that said “black man pulled a gun on white couple?” CNN wants you to believe we are living in 1900

Fat old biddy....this is what America now looks like in the south...sad and scary.

So I assume everyone will be baited by this race baiting story without actually seeing or hearing from all parties first? Most rational people do not pull guns on people for no reason, possibly CNN should have waited for more details... Covington

Why was race needed in this headline? Nothing about race in the altercation. Racism exists largely due to news media like CNN making something out of nothing.

Terrible

Why does trump racial puppies believe that they are so much better than anyone else. When they rape and kill indiscriminately?

lol yea lets ignore the crime culture

stoking the flames of racial division prior to 2020. Not transparent AT ALL. FakeNews

Good! The KOA employee was outrageous, racist and dangerous. Good riddance!

Shameful and racist to just assume they’re black. And in 2019. Wow. Shook.

not really sure why the race of the victims or attacker is relevant
