One of the men had two swords strapped to his back, Alexander said. The men were ordered to the ground at gunpoint and quickly explained the guns were props and airsoft replicas. The men told officers they were actors preparing for a photo shoot involving two "superhero" characters and two "terrorist" characters. Alexander said the men were issued trespass warnings and released.
