UNI students out on College Hill Saturday night may have gotten a scare after a shooting incident at Hidden Valley Apartments resulted in the arrest of Zachary Palmer, 21.

According to the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier, Palmer, who resides at Hidden Valley, fired a handgun into the air while standing on an apartment balcony. He then went back inside the apartment and displayed the weapon in a threatening manner to bystanders.

Authorities said they received a call at 10 p.m. about a fireworks complaint or a shot being fired. Upon arriving on the scene, officers conducted an investigation and then arrested Palmer.

While Palmer had a weapons permit to carry, officers could smell alcohol on his breath during the investigation, which violates the permit. He is being charged with two counts of assault by use or display of a weapon in a threatening manner, carrying weapons, reckless use of a firearm and public intoxication.
