He's not prone to drama, is he? Maybe it just means he had a bad day?
If DS7 said this to me, I'd be very troubled. Since he is not a drama queen, such words would be a sign that things were terrible!
If DS4 said it to me, I'd probably freak out for a second, but then would rein myself in and assume he'd just had a bad day until I got more evidence, since he IS a drama queen, and anything not going his way means he's MISERABLE <sob>.

So based on my kids, this could be something really, really serious, or it could be nothing. Given that your DS didn't want to talk about it, I'm thinking he may have made a bigger deal of a small-ish thing than he intended and he was embarrassed.
Of course, I don't know your child at all, so I may be totally, completely, absolutely wrong! But at least it's another angle to consider...
