Arrests made, guns seized after business shot at
Two men were arrested Thursday evening after a business on the 1700 block of Middleton Avenue was shot at, injuring no one but breaking a window.
Brandon police say they received a report of the shooting around 8:15 p.m. Their investigation revealed that a young man in a vehicle had allegedly fired a long gun at the window before leaving in a vehicle.
That vehicle was tracked down by officers on the 400 block of 12th Street and seized.

A Sun staffer saw police next to a taxi that had pulled over in the southbound lanes of First Street, just north of the First Street Bridge, around 8:30 p.m. The officers were communicating with someone through their vehicle’s loudspeaker.
One of the suspects from the shooting was a passenger in that taxi, a Brandon Police Service spokesperson said Friday.
Two men, aged 23 and 48, were arrested and charged with careless use of a firearm and other firearm-related charges. They were due to appear in court on Friday.
Police also recovered two sawed-off shotguns.
