Surveillance footage from city cameras reportedly captured Williams firing a weapon in the direction of individuals with whom he was engaged in an argument. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in connection with this event. The quick apprehension of Williams is attributed to the focused efforts of personnel within the police department’s Real Time Information Center and the effective deployment of the department’s drone technology.
