A Lincoln man was cited after police say he fired a handgun into the air a dozen times while a group of teenagers were fighting nearby early Tuesday.

Officer Angela Sands said police were called to the North 27th Street pedestrian bridge multiple times about a group of teens fighting. Someone heard several shots fired, but when police arrived, the teenagers weren't cooperative, she said.

Investigators were eventually led to the 2200 block of North 30th Street where resident Matthew Ostgaard, 29, said commotion caused by the fighting teens near Fleming Fields woke him up around 1:30 a.m., according to Sands.

He went outside to confront them, but a few told him to mind his own business. That's when Sands said he grabbed his handgun and fired it into the air.

No one was injured and police haven't received any reports of damage.

Ostgaard was cited on suspicion of discharging a firearm within city limits.
