Upon arrival, the officers located and detained the suspect without incident.
“The officers learned that the suspect and victim were engaged in an argument when the suspect pulled out a handgun and shot one round in the air. No one was injured in the shooting,” CCPD said in a press release. “During the officer’s investigation, they located a loaded semi-automatic handgun in the suspect’s waistband and recovered three additional loaded semi-automatic handguns and a sawed off shotgun in the suspect’s vehicle.”
