Authorities said Corouthers is a convicted felon who was prohibited from possessing a firearm.

“The idea that a man sick could point a gun at a child is horrifying,” Hallandale Beach resident Eve Mart said. “You gotta be a sick individual.”

Jail records show Corouthers is facing one count each of home invasion with a firearm or deadly weapon. He is also facing two counts of aggravated assault wit a deadly weapon without intent to kill in an unrelated case.
