Two 14-year-olds have been charged after an alleged incident that happened Thursday involving a replica handgun and threats in Amherstview, near Kingston, Ont., according to the Ontario provincial Police (OPP).

As they were leaving the first store, they displayed handgun, threatening one person, police say.

“They then entered a nearby drug store where they held the handgun in an individuals face and pulled the trigger. They then began pointing the weapon at other people and pulling the trigger,” the OPP said in a post on X Friday.

“In each case, there was no actual gunshot. The youths then fled from the store.”
