A Harker Heights man who was apparently angered that a baby shower was running late ordered guests to leave and then grabbed a gun, loaded it and placed the barrel between the eyes of the woman who was hosting the party, police said Monday.

Officers arrested the man after responding Sunday night to a report of a man with a gun at a home in the 1800 block of McGinnis Court.

The man and woman had agreed that the baby shower would end by 7 p.m. Sunday, but when he returned home sometime after 7:30 p.m. the party was still underway, police said.

“The female of the house met the man of the house in a separate room from the party and apologized for the party still going on,” police said in a press release Monday.

“The male of the house stated everyone had to leave, and then grabbed a handgun, locked and loaded it, and pointed it at the female of the house head, placing the barrel against her head touching her skin between the eyes,” police said Monday.

The man, whose name was not released, remains in custody at the Harker Heights Police Department.
