Two boys are facing charges after allegedly bringing a handgun to Sandburg Middle School in Golden Valley in November, showing off the gun in a social media video that police say the boys filmed in the school bathroom.

Each boy has been charged with one felony count of being under 18 in possession of ammunition, a pistol or an assault weapon.

Golden Valley Police Chief Virgil Green said Robbinsdale Area School District officials took nearly a week to report the video to police. Green said he first heard allegations that boys had a weapon at school after a school parent saw a news report about the Snapchat video and called police.
