EAST LANSING - A drunk 23-year-old man fired at least two bullets into an East Lansing house Saturday, police said. It was one of three gun-related incidents in the city over the weekend.

Police arrested Alec Freeman Keller, of East Lansing, after responding to a report of someone firing a gun at about 3:20 a.m. Saturday near the intersection of Burcham Drive and Berkshire Lane, said officials with the East Lansing Police Department.

Police said Keller was carrying a loaded .45 caliber handgun with multiple magazines and had fired rounds in multiple locations, including in the 600 block of Cornell Avenue and the 500 block of Bailey Street.

At least two rounds hit a house on Bailey Street while residents were inside sleeping, said Lt. Scott Wriggelsworth, a spokesman for the department.

Investigators have no indication Keller was targeting any specific people or locations, he said

Keller faces three felony weapons charges and one misdemeanor charge for possessing a firearm while intoxicated.

He faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted and remains jailed on $100,000 bond.

His attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Also on Saturday night, police responded to the report of a man carrying a long-barreled gun while walking near the intersection of Hillcrest Avenue and Elm Place.

When officers arrived at 2:57 a.m. the man dropped the weapon and tried to flee, according to a news release.

Police ultimately determined the weapon was a pellet gun and arrested the man, a Michigan State University student whom police have not identified, for disorderly conduct.

Officials are still looking for the suspect in a third incident, which took place at 2 a.m. Sunday in the 2500 block of Abbot Road.

Police responded to a report of shots fired, and were told by witnesses that a man fired a round into the air after a fight and fired several more times while running away, although Wriggelsworth said it's not clear whether he was aiming at the people.
