HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- Henrico Police arrested an 18-year-old man for allegedly firing gunshots around an apartment complex off of Staples Mill Road on Thursday.

Police responded to the 4100 block of Townhouse Road around 3:15 p.m. after they received reports of someone walking through the complex with a gun and gunshots being heard.

When police arrived, they also heard the gunshots.

After investigating for a couple of hours, police took Bryson Bush into custody and charged him with reckless handling of a firearm.
