Deputies say Claudio Camacho-Simon, 40, pointed a firearm at another man.

MORRISTON — A game of cards almost turned deadly on Friday night when sheriff's deputies say an angry, armed man pointed a gun at two men.

One of the men told Marion County deputies he and 40-year-old Claudio Camacho-Simon were arguing when Camacho-Simon called his wife and told her to bring his gun. When the woman arrived with the firearm, he said, Camacho-Simon pointed it at him and another man and threatened to shoot them.

Then, the man said, Camacho-Simon went outside and fired multiple shots in the air, according to a Sheriff's Office arrest report.

Two men managed to take the gun from him. Camacho-Simon then grabbed a hammer and chased one of them to get back his gun. The man said he hid in a closet, and though Camacho-Simon found him, Camacho-Simon did not harm him.

Deputies said the incident occurred at 7580 NW 145th Ave. Road in Morriston. A resident saw someone firing a gun and called deputies, officials said.

Camacho-Simon's wife told deputies she thought her husband wanted the gun for target practice, which is a common thing for him to do. When she went to the residence with the gun and saw the argument, she knew something was wrong.

She said her husband pointed the gun at the men and threatened to shoot them.

Camacho-Simon said the other man pointed a gun at him and he fired his gun in the air to scare other man. Deputies recovered the gun and arrested Camacho-Simon on suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Marion County Jail records show Camacho-Simon's $2,000 bond was being posted on Saturday.
