    Ah, summer camp. Sleeping in bunk beds, canoeing, shooting air guns at small children.

    Lower Merion police are investigating an incident involving two teen counselors at General Wayne Park who allegedly fired an air gun and hit two campers, as the Main Line Times reports.

    The 17-year-olds are accused of striking, but no injuring, two 12-year-olds. They’re suspended without pay and the investigation continues.
