The Rockport Police Department say they are investigating a man who was arrested Sunday morning after waving a loaded gun outside of St. Peter’s Catholic Church as a service was ending.
According to the department, officers were dispatched shortly after 10 a.m. to St. Peter’s Church in the 2900 block of FM 1781 for reports of “a man with a gun” in the parking lot.
Witnesses told officers the man, identified as 45-year-old Anh Nguyen, arrived in a blue pickup, got out and began waving a silver revolver. Rockport Chief of Police, Nathan Anderson, said he was seen “holding it up in the air and holding it down by his side,” and that “he had his finger on the trigger as well.”
