The victim said he refused and kept his hands in his pocket. He told police a physical altercation broke out after a friend tried to defend the victim.

That's when the victim said he heard someone yell 'Gun!' and everyone began to run from the scene.

Another witness told police she also heard someone yell 'Gun!' then saw a juvenile pull a gun from his waistband and point it at another male.

Officers located the juvenile suspects, who led police to where the firearm was hidden near 146 King Street, according to police. Officers also recovered seven bullets and a magazine.

Two juveniles are charged with attempted robbery with a firearm. Police said charges are still pending against another juvenile.
