Lancaster City Police made their 33rd firearms-related arrest of 2016. On June 13, 2016 at 3:08 p.m. officers were dispatched to the 100 blk. of S. Ann St. for a weapons call. Arriving officers were told by county dispatch that an unknown male was threatening to shoot his girlfriend, and that the suspect had fled in a brown Toyota.
