Two injured men were taken to hospital in stable condition, and officers recovered a CO₂-powered pistol. Investigators connected the apartment altercation to an earlier report that a man leaving a nearby restaurant had been seen holding what appeared to be a gun. Police said a group went to an apartment, where a man answering the door was struck in the face with the pistol; a hallway fight followed and bear spray was deployed. Four people were taken into custody and faced various weapon and assault charges; all were released on undertakings. The allegations have not been decided in court. ## Data ### Source-reported details The table presents details in the issuing authority’s October 18 release.
