A teenage boy is facing felony gun charges after allegedly posting a video of himself firing a revolver on Snapchat.

Deputies in Livingston County have charged Ryan Bonadonna of Leicester with felony criminal possession of a firearm. He’s also facing charges from the State DEC for discharging a firearm on a roadway.
