A West Harrison couple says they're disappointed after seeing a video of two kids tearing down their Pride flag, just days before the end of Pride month.

Ricardo Cosme Ruiz and his partner recorded the video on their doorbell camera.

They say it happened Saturday just after 8 p.m. on Underhill Avenue near Daniel Street.

The couple has lived there for two years and say they are shocked by the act because it's a very welcoming area.

They say won't press charges but want the kids' parents to be aware and teach them to do better.
