At approximately 8:45 a.m., Downtown Public Safety Officers responded to the 600 block of Penn Avenue for reports of a man brandishing a rifle at a maintenance worker.

Officers quickly located one of the adult male actors inside a convenience store, where he was taken into custody without incident. The second male actor was observed outside the area, and a brief foot pursuit ensued before he was apprehended at the intersection of 6th Avenue and McCrea Way. The second actor was found to be in possession of a rifle and a significant quantity of drugs, including heroin.

Both adult male actors are in custody and are facing charges.
