UPDATED: A large crowd of teenagers fought at a Brainerd bowling alley Tuesday night, and video from the incident shows that at least one teenager pulled a gun and pointed it at the crowd.

No one was injured and the gun was not fired, according to police. In a video that was posted on Facebook, teenagers scream and run when one boy levels the weapon at the crowd.

Officers arrested one juvenile who they say was involved in the gun incident, which happened at about 9:30 p.m. Several other juveniles were arrested for other offenses after the initial fight was broken up, according to police.

Officers did not recover any weapons.

"With the amount of kids out there milling around, [the gun] was easily passed off to another kid," said Lt. Glenn Scruggs.

He said that the bowling alley, Pin Strikes, is usually a fairly safe environment, and that off-duty police officers are hired as security.

The fight happened after an earlier incident, Scruggs said. The first incident, which was minor, prompted employees at the bowling alley to ask all people under the age of 18 who were not with a parent to leave the building, which led to the second fight when the gun was pulled.

"These guys were going to fight whether they were inside or not," Scruggs said.

It's unclear whether the same people were involved in both incidents. After police arrived, several people continued to fight in the parking lot and were also arrested.

Police will have officers at the bowling alley for the next few nights as a precaution, communications coordinator Kyle Miller said.

UPDATE: Tenika Havis says a day later she is still shaken by what happened at this bowling alley.
