LANCASTER - Police looking for a vehicle allegedly involved in a hit-skip ended up arresting a man for shooting within the city, they reported.

A report from the Lancaster Police Department says an attendant at the Get Go gas station at 1416 Ety Shops Way told police a black SUV hit one of the kiosks.

The attendant provided the license plate number, and the officer went to the owner’s address for more information.

In the 1200 block of Community Way, the officer reported finding a vehicle matching the description. It had the provided license plate and damage on the front passenger side bumper, police said.

The officer knocked on the door, and a man answered with his hand behind his back, police reported. The officer reported seeing a sliver weapon behind the man’s leg and ordered him to put it down. While putting the gun down, he shot the floor behind him, police reported.

The officer ordered the man to the ground, and he complied, police said. Other officers arrived to help secure the weapon and the man.

The man was reportedly intoxicated, and he was taken to jail on misdemeanor charges of using weapons while intoxicated and discharging firearms within city limits. The gun was collected, police said.
