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.
