News broke Tuesday night that Blanket Jackson may have been the target of a stun gun attack by the 13-year-old son of Jermaine Jackson.
TMZ reported that Jafaar ordered the Scorpion stun gun, a 300,000 volt stun gun, on the internet and then threatened to try it out on “Blanket” (real name Prince Michael II).
Randy Jackson told TMZ the gun was confiscated by security when it was delivered three weeks ago and locked up by Katherine Jackson. But we’ve learned and confirmed … children at the Jackson home were playing with the gun last week.
Our sources say the kids were using the gun on the second floor of the house. Security guards on the property were perplexed because they couldn’t figure out where the noise was coming from … nor could they identify the sound.
Late last week, we’re told one of the security guards went upstairs and “stopped Jermaine’s kids from stunning Blanket.” The guard confiscated the gun.
TMZ also reported that there may be a second stun gun in the possession of the children. However, the Jackson family is denying the allegations. They say that Jafaar did not intend to use the stun gun on Blanket, but instead after opening the stun gun in it’s package that he took it to a bathroom and tried it on a piece of paper. They added that Katherine Jackson and security workers heard the stun gun and immediately took it away from Jafaar.
At some point L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services was contacted and paid a visit to the home Tuesday. They have been interviewing family members and the children.
Jackson family attorney Adam Streisand said in a statement:
“Blanket Jackson never saw or heard the stun gun. Neither did Paris Jackson. Prince saw the stun gun in the possession of security. There is no second stun gun.”
Streisand described the situation, which reportedly happened two weeks ago.
“Mrs. Jackson and security heard the sound coming from the second floor of the house. Immediately, security went upstairs and confiscated the stun gun. Mrs. Jackson took control over it and then had it removed from the house. There was no other incident. All of the kids are happy, healthy and wonderful and that is Mrs. Jackson’s only objective and concern“
My initial reaction to all this is, “How did a 13-year-old buy a stun gun online? Is it that easy?” One person I spoke with brought up the fact that a gift card could have been used. So, out of curiousity I looked up the gun’s price. It sells for $39.95. So I guess the gift card is a total possibility, especially if it was a VISA gift card or what not. And if Jafaar has access to a credit card, it’s no wonder it happened.
