Taylor County officials have identified a man arrested for firing a gun at a house over the weekend, prompting the evacuation of a nearby football game.
19-year-old Harrison Davis of Medford was arrested Saturday afternoon on charges of first degree recklessly endangering safety, discharging a firearm within a school zone and discharging a firearm into a building.
Police say Davis fired a handgun at a home just after 3 p.m. on Saturday. The shooting took place within 1000 feet of the Holy Rosary Catholic School and caused the lockdown and evacuation of the football game between Chippewa Falls and Medford.
Davis then fled the scene and was tracked by tips and electronic tracking to a ditch on Highway M in Chippewa County.
He remains in custody in the Taylor County jail awaiting an initial appearance and formal charges.
