At least seven Duluth Police Department squads were involved in a traffic stop on Superior Street at Seventh Avenue West on Monday afternoon on a report of a male in a car brandishing a gun -- but it turned out to be a Super Soaker squirt gun.
Police responded to the gun call with backup officers before approaching the car in question, as is the protocol for a reported felony. When they pulled over the vehicle and talked to the female driver, several squirt guns were seen in the back seat.
The incident happened about 4:45 p.m. Duluth Police spokesman Brad Wick said no arrests were made.
