Officers advanced on the suspect, and he hid behind a ledge. Upon seeing police, Webb put his hands up and surrendered. he was taken into custody.

Officers recovered a .45 caliber replica 1911 BB gun, a bag of silver-colored BB's, and a receipt for the BB gun and BBs.

The defendant later admitted that what he was using it to fire at several aluminum cans he had arranged on the parking deck located above the Mongolian Grill.  He also admitted that doing this was not a smart move and that even up close the gun looks real and might have made people observing him believe he was “trying to kill somebody.”
