The weapon was found in a Chevy Tahoe sport utility vehicle parked across the street from a row house on 11th Street just north of West Main Street.

About a dozen police cars responded at just before 1 p.m. and surrounded a large group of people who were arguing in the street. It took about an hour to calm the situation.

Neighbors said there have been multiple disturbances at the site over the past two weeks.

▪ Two metro-east juveniles -- at 12-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy -- have been charged in connection with four stolen cars, a stolen gun and a burglary.
