A Falls Township man was charged last week with firing a gun in an apartment.

Officers were called around 11:45 p.m. last Tuesday to the Lakeview Terrace Apartments for the incident.

A resident said Kiran, who she knew, was intoxicated and made threats against himself. He then went into the living room and discharged the revolver, police said.

Officers secured a Smith and Wesson revolver and noted a round was spent. They observed what appeared to be bullet damage in a couch, police said.
