MT. VERNON — The Mt. Vernon Police Department was alerted Friday of a music video that went viral locally showing two Mt. Vernon juveniles displaying a handgun while singing.

Officers were able to make contact with both juveniles involved, the parents of the involved juveniles, and recover the firearm from the video. An MVPD investigation revealed that the firearm recovered was not real and was in fact a BB gun. It has been seized by authorities.

The juveniles were identified as students from two different schools in Mt. Vernon. Officials from both districts were notified.
