It was determined following an MPD investigation that a firearm was not directly involved in the incident and only the threat of one was.
MPD spokesperson Lydia Arnold said since the case involves a juvenile — and is being filed in Missoula Youth Court — they cannot release any of the details regarding the juvenile.
