LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A 17-year-old boy is accused of pulling out a gun in a massive crowd during an event Sunday at a Lincoln park.

A video circulating from an event at Antelope Park hosted by YouTube influencer Cam Wilder showed someone holding a black handgun with an extended magazine.

The Lincoln Police Department received a report of the gun on Sunday night and began an investigation.

The next day, officers tracked a stolen vehicle to an alley near 29th and Starr streets.  Police said five people got out of the car and ran into a home.

Officers found a black bag containing two firearms near the truck, according to police.  One of those guns matched the firearm seen in the video.

Authorities surrounded the home, and five teens came out after about 30 minutes.

The teens were referred on suspicion of felony theft, possession of a stolen firearm and possession of a firearm by a prohibited juvenile.

During the investigation, officers learned that the 17-year-old had flashed the gun, according to police.
