A Johnstown man has been accused of firing a weapon in
the area of Prospect Homes complex on June 22.
The bullet shattered a window of a car with children inside, authorities said.
William Katrell Herring II, 23, was charged with possession of a firearm, reckless endangerment, flight to avoid apprehension, disorderly conduct and discharging a firearm.
In a court document, Johns-town police said they were called to a disturbance involving 10 men in the Prospect Homes area.
Herring is alleged to have pulled a handgun and shot at
one of
the men involved in the distur-bance.
The round shattered the back window of a 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier on Gray Avenue, police said.
Three children, ages 6, 8 and 9, and the driver escaped injury, police said.
Herring was arraigned Thursday by District Judge Michael Musulin of Johnstown, the on-call magistrate.
Herring was sent to the Cambria County Prison after fail-
ing to post $50,000 percentage bond.
Herring was not permitted to be at the public housing complex, which is operated by the Johnstown Housing Authority, because of past trouble, police said.
