"Toy" Guns Show Very Real Threat To Police

Chicopee Police are warning parents of the dangers of "fake guns".

Police say earlier this week there was a report of a group of young people involved in a disturbance.

Police say it was then that they were made aware that one of the juveniles may have had a gun.

Officials say they confiscated a very real looking gun from one of the kids.

A spokesman for the department warns that the situation could have come out a lot different, given another set of circumstances.

Police are urging parents to have a conversation about the dangers of pointing even a "toy" gun at someone.

In the incident this week, there were no issues.
