Police arrested a Glendale man they allege fired more than 100 gunshots into the air on the Fourth of July.

Conrad Menes Washington, 29, was booked Tuesday on charges of endangerment substantial risk of causing physical injury and discharge firearm within city limits.

Police said the suspect is also allegedly in violation of Shannon’s Law, which is a felony in Arizona.

In June 1999, 14-year-old Shannon Smith was talking on the telephone in the backyard of her central Phoenix home. A bullet randomly fired into the air from more than a mile away, struck her in the head when it descended, killing her.

In a grassroots effort, Shannon’s parents worked with law enforcement officials, prosecutors, politicians, and residents worked to make a change. The result was the creation of Arizona's “Shannon’s Law,” which makes it a felony for anyone “who with criminal negligence discharges a firearm within or into the limits of any municipality” in Arizona.

Police also say the suspect has a Florida warrant for disorderly conduct.

At 8:45 p.m. Tuesday, Glendale Police officers received a text message to 911 as well as 911 calls from residents in an apartment complex in the 6200 block of Olive Avenue. The complaints said shots were being fired outside in a courtyard next to one of the apartment complex’s buildings.

A police report of the scene describes fireworks going off nonstop from both close by and far away for the holiday, and foot traffic inside the apartment complex was substantial as well as vehicle traffic on the roads being heavier than usual.

The report also alleges “100 rounds were fired into the air” by the suspect.

The arresting officer observed the suspect holding a black rifle. Police say Washington lived in one of the apartments with his brother, but at first denied shooting a firearm and claimed it was someone else.

The suspect also claimed his intention was to die by suicide outside in the courtyard, police said. Police also said there were bullet casings under the suspect’s balcony and inside his enclosed balcony.

Later, during an interview, police said Washington confessed to shooting a rifle into the air approximately 11 or 12 times. After a search warrant of the suspect’s apartment was served, police say they located 100 casings from the shooting as well as firearms.

A police report also states officers believed the suspect was under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the offense.

Police say the suspect has prior arrest history stemming from his time in the U.S. Army.

The Glendale Police Department uses ShotSpotter technology to help gather gunfire intelligence and data and to pinpoint the location when a gun is discharged within city limits.
