On January 13, 2026, District 6 Officers conducted an investigation into a subject who was seen pointing a firearm at officers who were investigating a "Shots Fired" call in the Walnut Park Neighborhood. A search warrant was granted and a 20-year-old man was arrested. Located in the residence were four firearms and additional firearm parts. One handgun was equipped with a conversion device making it capable of firing fully-automatic and another firearm was reported stolen. Charges were issued against the 20-year-old for Unlawful Possession of an Illegal Weapon, UUW- Exhibiting, and UUW- Possessing a Loaded Gun While Intoxicated. Thankfully neither our officers nor members of the public were injured, and a dangerous individual was taken off the streets.
