Police lights

Police say students helped stop a tense moment at a Wilton High School football game after reporting a video showing a juvenile pointing an unloaded BB gun at another student.

Wilton officers were working security at the Nov. 14 game when they learned about the video. Police said they checked the stands and found the juvenile with the gun had already left. They determined there was no ongoing danger to fans or the school.

Police later identified the child in the video. They also found the BB gun, which investigators learned that a second juvenile had supplied. 

Police said both juveniles were referred to Juvenile Court for a delinquent act.

Wilton police said the students who reported the video played a vital role in resolving the case quickly. 

Police did not release any of the children's names because of their ages.
