MILFORD, Del. - A Milford man faces felony charges after police responded to reports of gunfire during a large party Sunday morning and found a concealed handgun inside the man's car.
Milford police said officers were called to the 900 block of North Church Street at about 6:46 a.m. Aug. 30 after receiving reports of a large party and shots being fired.
When officers arrived, they found a group of people gathered around a running car with two people inside. Police said the driver showed signs of alcohol impairment initially.
A further investigation led officers to a Taurus 9mm handgun inside the car’s center console, according to police. Officers also found a spent shell casing on the ground nearby.
