A concealed carry holder fired his handgun on an Uptown street Saturday night, but no one was injured, according to police and prosecutors.
Police responded to several calls of shots fired near the intersection of Magnolia and Leland avenues shortly after 11 p.m. One caller told police that a man wearing shorts was shooting at the intersection.
Officers stopped 49-year-old Rogdrick Wilson a few minutes later based on the caller’s description. Police say Wilson was carrying a handgun in a holster when they patted him down.
Wilson told officers that he “let off a round,” prosecutors said in bond court Sunday. He has a valid Firearm Owner’s ID card and a concealed carry license.
Prosecutors charged Wilson with reckless discharge of a firearm. Judge David Navarro set bail at $5,000.
