Police say a man was arrested after firing shots and pointing a handgun and people near Harvard and Pike early Saturday morning.

According to the SPD brief on the incident, police were called to E Pike around 1:20 AM Saturday to a report of a man yelling who reportedly pulled the gun out in a nearby alley and fired several shots into the air before pointing the gun at people. “No one was hit by any rounds, but one victim said a round was fired in their direction,” SPD reports.

Arriving police took the 44-year-old into custody, and recovered a handgun from the suspect. Police also found 9mm casings and possible damage to a nearby building at the scene.

SPD says the suspect was booked into King County Jail for investigation of assault. There were no reported injuries.
