A 17-year-old male is facing multiple charges following a firearms incident that occurred on Friday, January 30, 2026.
At approximately 4:40 a.m., police responded to a call for service at a business in the 1100 block of Angus Street. The caller reported that a male suspect had a firearm and had threatened to shoot a customer. The suspect then left the business and entered a residence on the same block of Angus Street.
Due to the fact the suspect was seen carrying a firearm, the Tactical Support Team (TST) was called in to assist.
Approximately four hours later, after multiple attempts to make contact with those inside the home, TST officers entered the home and arrested the suspect without further incident. A search, subsequent to arrest, revealed a loaded, sawed-off rifle.
