HUNTSVILLE — Sheriff’s deputies arrested a man on Saturday who allegedly fired an air pistol from a car, hitting the windshield of another vehicle with two people inside.

Deputies responded to the report of shots fired at 3:57 a.m. near 6800 East and 100 South in Huntsville.

One of the victims told deputies that a man pointed a black handgun and fired several shots. The reported victims believed it was a real firearm, according to a Weber County Sheriff’s Office probable cause statement.

Following up on a description of the suspect’s vehicle, deputies found a match parked in a driveway about a block away and detained several people in the home. One, identified as Brady Scott Walker, 21, had an Airsoft gun holstered on his hip, the arrest affidavit said.

After waiving his rights to an attorney before speaking to police, Walker allegedly admitted he pointed the air gun at the other car “and claimed he accidentally pressed the trigger.” He said the gun had a light trigger and pulling the trigger cycled the weapon through multiple shots, according to the affidavit.

No one was injured in the shooting, but the victims’ car had windshield damage “consistent with a BB-type projectile,” the arrest document said.

Walker was booked into the Weber County Jail on two counts of third-degree felony aggravated assault. He was released with conditions, including a promise to appear in court.
