A Trumbull man is facing charges after police say he fired a gun following an argument with his wife, which led to a neighborhood lockdown.
Robert Zambrzycki, 42, is charged with unlawful discharge of a firearm and reckless endangerment.
The incident happened at his home on Tashua Road around 8 p.m. Tuesday.
Police say they were called to the home on a report of a domestic disturbance.
Police say Zambrzycki left the house with a loaded gun following an argument with his wife. They say he then fired off a shot in an unknown direction just outside the door.
Police say they secured the area surrounding the home. Zambrzycki's wife and children were told to shelter in place, and the neighborhood was placed on lockdown.
The incident prompted the town's alert system to notify residents.
Police say they found Zambrzycki hiding in a boat on his property. The Southwest Regional Emergency Response Team was called in to negotiate. He surrendered peacefully without incident a short time later.
No one was hurt, but neighbors say they are surprised because the neighborhood is usually very quiet.
Zambrzycki was released on a written promise to appear in court on Nov. 29.
