A man target shooting with a pellet gun in Fairbanks briefly drew police response Friday morning.
Police responded to a report of shots fired in the area of College Road and Antoinette Street at about 10 a.m. Friday. Fairbanks police spokesperson Amber Courtney said police arrived to find a man shooting a pellet gun.
"He was just practicing," she said. "He was not trying to shoot at anybody."
She said the situation was over in less than hour. She did not know if the man had been taken into custody.
