BELOIT, Wis. — Police in Beloit say a tactical situation overnight began with a report of gunshots early Thursday morning.
In a Facebook post, the Beloit Police Department said officers were called at 3:39 a.m. after someone reported they were being threatened by a man who later fired a gunshot into the air.
Nothing was hit by the bullet, police said.
The department’s Tactical Operations Unit was called in to arrest the 38-year-old man, who faces possible charges of recklessly endangering safety, disorderly conduct while armed, and possessing a firearm after a previous felony conviction. The man has not yet been officially charged with a crime.
