Police say shots were fired, but when officers arrived, the suspect had taken off. Around three hours later, officers responded to a report of a break-in at another home on Shady Glen Lane. Police say a struggle broke out between the suspect and the occupant and gunshots reportedly rang out. Officers arrived and took one person into custody. The accused faces a slew of charges, including careless use of a firearm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, assault causing bodily harm, and two counts of assaulting a peace officer. He is also charged with several other weapons and court-related offences. It's unclear if any injuries were sustained in either incident.
