A University of Montana student may face criminal charges and disciplinary action following a UM police investigation into a gunshot from a dorm window, according to a release from UM police.

No injuries were reported in the Tuesday night incident. UM Police Chief Marty Ludemann said Thursday the investigation is ongoing while charges are being considered by the county attorney's office.

"We've talked to a couple people we believe are involved and it's pending the county attorney's review," Ludemann said.

A Thursday news release states a student brought a firearm into Aber Hall and fired it out a room window. No damage, beyond a tear in the window screen where the round pierced, was immediately included in the report. The student's name was not immediately released.

The UMPD daily crime log online shows the report for a negligent endangerment and weapons violation came in at 7:24 p.m. on Tuesday.

Missoula police have joined the investigation. The student also faces a possible conduct violation, meaning a hearing process will likely take place. Consequences, if a violation is indeed found, range from a warning to a suspension.
