The police chief in Brookville, Jefferson County, told the borough's solicitor that his 18-year-old stepson is one of the people in the video.
The other person in the video is 16-years-old. Since he is 16 and not facing any charges, KDKA is not identifying him at this point.
Hunting groups have condemned the video, saying it doesn't represent who they are as hunters.
