Four men were arrested Friday evening after witnesses said they were shooting a firearm from the window of a vehicle along Vincent Road near Lake Shore Estates.

Terrence Brown, 19; Shannon Vinson Jr., 19; Joshua Lofties, 20, and Michael Knight, 20, each have been charged with possession of a firearm with intent to go armed and reckless endangerment, court documents state.

Witnesses told Hamilton County sheriff’s deputies the men were in a white Cadillac going toward Champion Road on Vincent Road, according to court documents.

Deputies located the Cadillac at a gas station on North Hickory Valley Road and searched the vehicle.

Brown was found in possession of an ArmaLite rifle with nine .223 shell casings and 11 live rounds in the magazine, authorities said. Lofties, who was the driver, had a loaded .22 caliber pistol under his seat.
