Chickamauga, Ga., police arrested a teenager this week who they say broke out the back window of a vehicle with an air pistol at Gordon Lee High School.

An officer charged Tristian Paul Lister, 18, of Fort Oglethorpe, with criminal trespass and carrying weapons within a school safety zone on Tuesday afternoon. According to an incident report, he brought a C02 pistol onto campus and shot the rear window of a 1998 Jeep Cherokee.

According to an arrest warrant affidavit, Lister was angry at a student "over a female." A video from the school shows Lister firing the gun. He also confessed to shooting out the window and gave an officer the weapon.

The report does not say when exactly the shooting happened. It does say that Lister was arrested around 5:30 p.m.

Chickamauga City Schools Superintendent Melody Day and Chickamauga Police Chief Ronald Roach did not return calls seeking comment.
