Police respond to every complaint and every complaint is investigated. The person found responsible for shooting a gun into the sky will be arrested. If people are injured or property damaged, the person could face felony charges.
Remember, what goes up, must come down. Protect human life and others’ property. Don’t shoot your gun into the air.
