A man fired a shotgun into the air twice trying to scare someone away from his Barnard Avenue residence.

Police said the man had heard someone knocking on his window, so he pulled the shotgun given to him by a friend from under his bed and fired it into the air to frighten them.

The man told police his friend had found the weapon, a Benelli Nova 12-gauge shotgun, on a path behind LaGrange High School, and the friend told him it was OK if he had it.

He was charged with reckless conduct.
