GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Several teenagers were briefly detained Wednesday evening after police received a report of a group of people with a gun.

Department officials tell FOX 17 the group was seen passing a gun around in the area of Franklin Street and Lafayette Avenue.

When officers got on scene, they found a 12-year-old boy with a loaded magazine but didn’t find a gun. Investigators believe someone had given the magazine to the boy.

Officers ended up detaining approximately seven juveniles, who were later released to their parents. A few adults were detained at the scene and released. One person was taken into custody on an outstanding warrant.

No injuries were reported.
