"This is unacceptable behavior on new year's, that we're here to protect our citizens and our community and be good citizens and good neighbors," said Houston City Council Member-Elect Brenda Stardig. "I think that it's very important that if you know of someone that is discharging a firearm to call Crime Stoppers if you're not comfortable calling the police."
Firing a gun in the air is a Class A misdemeanor which carries a punishment of up to a year in prison and $4,000 fine.
