Reports of a gunshot sparked an armed offenders squad callout a short distance from the Levin town centre this afternoon.
Several witnesses spoken to by Horowhenua Chronicle reported hearing a gunshot coming from an address in Queen St.
Witnesses said they later saw a man wearing a type of bracelet on his ankle arrested.
