SANTA ANA (CNS) - A 25-year-old Huntington Beach man with a felony conviction was charged Tuesday with firing a gun on the Golden West College campus.
Talon Brunelle was charged with grossly negligent discharge of a firearm, possessing a loaded firearm on a college campus and possession of a firearm by a felon. He pleaded not guilty at a hearing in the Central Justice Center in Santa Ana and was due back in court Aug. 4 for a pretrial hearing in the West Justice Center in Westminster.
Police were dispatched about 2:30 p.m. July 19 to the college campus regarding a call of shots fired, according to Huntington Beach Police Department public information officer Jessica Cuchilla. When officers arrived a witness said they saw someone acting suspiciously and firing a shot in the air, Cuchilla said.
