Casey L. Jones was charged with four counts of reckless endangerment involving a deadly weapon after Wednesday's incident, the newspaper reported. One of the bullets hit a house across the street where a family was at home, the News Sentinel reported, citing an arrest report. No one inside the house was injured.

According to the arrest report, a woman living at the house where Jones was staying said he was playing an Xbox game -- police did not say what game Jones was playing -- when he began screaming, the newspaper reported.
