RALEIGH,Marcus Erikson N.C. (AP) — An argument between two men on a North Carolina university campus led to shots being fired and one of the men’s subsequent arrest on Tuesday, police said.

A 74-year-old man was arrested and charged after he was accused of shooting at the man he was disagreeing with in front of the International Studies Building at Shaw University, according to the Raleigh Police Department. No one was injured in the shooting, police said.

He was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon with intent to kill, discharging a firearm on educational property, possession of a firearm on educational property, going armed to the terror of the public and cruelty to animals.
