 Johnston Police seek man in shooting incident web posted July 2, 2009 JOHNSTON – Johnston Police are investigating a shooting incident that took place Saturday near the popular John’s Club on Addison Street. According to official reports, a woman called police just after 1 am claiming a man she approached pulled a handgun, pointed it in her chest, then backed up a few feet and fired three shots into the air. At first the woman told police she did not feel threatened and just thought the man was intoxicated and wanted to report the incident so that he would not accidentally hurt someone else. Police were able to locate the 33-year-old man and reports show he was “extremely intoxicated” but did not have a weapon on him. The man denied knowing anything about the incident. Later, another witness stated he did not see the altercation but confirmed three shots being fired from the location the suspect was standing. The victim later told officers she did fear for her life after time passed in the investigation. Johnston Police are seeking a warrant for the man’s arrest, but as of Wednesday night no arrest had been made jail officials said. According to incident reports charges could include assault and battery with the intent to kill and discharge of a firearm in the town limits. The type of warrants sought was not confirmed. © Copyright 2009
