About 6:39 p.m., Oswego Police were dispatched to the 200 block of Northampton Drive for a report of a man that may have fired a gun in the air while walking in the street, according to a news release from Oswego police.

Upon arrival, officers quickly located a man matching the man’s description holding a firearm in his hand, according to the release.
