It happened Sunday night at 15 Mile and Schoenherr. Sterling Heights police say the man was seen a short time later at 19 Mile and Saal, driving around and shooting a gun in the air.

"Through witnesses, we were able to locate him, and obviously it happened at 8 PM. There are a lot of witnesses, a lot of cars out in the area, and luckily a witness actually observed the driver pointing the gun in the air and shooting the firearm in the air, which is obviously extremely dangerous," said Sterling Heights Police Capt.
