Shots Fired in Newark Home

Newark Police said that one man is in custody following a report of shots fired inside of a home on Moull Street.

Authorities said that a female resident called police and reported hearing several gun shots coming from the bedroom of 75-year-old Gary Lint.

Officers attempted to make contact with Lint and received no answer.
