Police were called to a Lincoln apartment complex near 30th and Apple Streets after a man allegedly shot at his neighbor with a crossbow, according to Officer Katie Flood.

Police say 49-year-old Carlos Lupercio got into an argument with his 25-year-old neighbor about the breed of the man’s dog Saturday evening. The owner said the dog was a pit bull, but Lupercio said it was a lab.

After the argument, police say Lupercio went into his apartment and returned with a black crossbow pistol, Flood said.

The neighbor tried to extend his hand out for an apology. That's when Carlos shot the crossbow, missing the man and hitting a tree. The man was only two or three feet away when Lupercio allegedly fired, Flood said.

Police were later called and Lupercio was arrested for making terrostic threats, use of a weapon to commit a felony, resisting arrest and discharge of a weapon in city limits.

Police say alcohol may have been a factor in the incident.
