Big Spring - Around 12:30 Sunday morning, Big Spring police were called to the 1300 block of Madison on a report of shots fired.
They discovered Juston Louis Martinez of Plainview had a gun he was showing to people when one of the people in the group said the gun looked familiar to him.
That's when police say, Martinez pointed the gun at the group and told everyone to stay back as he backed away.
