A 22-year-old Marysville man is facing six charges after allegedly shooting at three people Sunday.

Quill Aaron-Wesley Pettway was arraigned Monday afternoon on two charges of assault with intent to murder, felony firearms, discharging a weapon in or at a building with serious injury, discharging a firearm in or at a building and felonious assault.

His bond was set at $1 million.

Marysville Public Safety Chief Tom Konik said officials responded to a shooting at Vicksburg Halls, 1100 New York Ave., just after 3 a.m. on Sunday.

The man allegedly shot a 22-year-old St. Clair man who was in critical condition yesterday, but is now stable, and a 27-year-old Marysville man who suffered minor injuries, said Marysville Police Deputy Chief Ron Buckmaster. The building manager was also shot at, but not hit.

According to surveillance video footage, Buckmaster said it appears that alcohol was a factor in the incident. Buckmaster said at some point the suspect became loud and the building manager asked him to leave the building. Police are still investigating the cause of the shooting.

The altercation began inside the building and moved outside, where the suspect was taken into custody, Konik said.

During the arraignment, St. Clair County Assistant Prosecutor Paul Soderberg said Pettway had been drinking earlier that evening. Soderberg said Pettway had a pistol with him. When Pettway was told to leave, he shot three rounds into the apartment door. He shot the 22-year-old in the stomach and the 27-year-old in the arm.

Then he went down to the apartment manager, where he previously had contact about a noise complaint, and he pointed the gun directly at her while standing five to 10 feet away. She said she was going to call the police, and he then walked outside and fired multiple rounds into the air. He then fired the gun back in her direction and said "It's all your fault." Soderberg said the events were all recorded on surveillance video.

"It's very scary, very dangerous," Soderberg said. "The defendant was not just a disturbance, but he was terrorizing the community with an open pistol."

As Pettway was firing off rounds outside, Marysville Police pulled up, officials said. Pettway threw down his pistol under police orders and was taken into custody without incident. It was found that Pettway emptied his pistol of bullets, but had another full clip in his pocket. Pettway was not licensed to carry the gun, Buckmaster said. The weapon was recovered by police.

Both victims were transported by ambulance to Lake Huron Medical Center.

According to the Marysville Housing Commission website, Vicksburg Halls’ occupancy is limited to elderly people and those with disabilities.

Pettway has a probable cause hearing in District Judge John Monaghan's courtroom at 9 a.m. April 18 and a preliminary exam at 1:30 p.m. April 25.
