Twenty six year old Mark Alamilla, a resident of 3 Pinks Alley who allegedly fired a shot at 44 year old wood sculptor, John Morgan was charged with aggravated assault when he appeared today in the number two Magistrate's court. Alamilla pleaded not guilty but because it is a firearm offence, she remanded him into custody until March 29th.
The incident occurred around 4 P.M. on Thursday, February 3rd.
Morgan reported to the police that he was in front of Image Factory on North Front Street selling sculptures and talking to two women when Alamilla had a misunderstanding with him over the women.

Morgan said Alamilla fired a single shot at him from about 7 feet away but the shot missed. Alamilla then ran through Pinks Alley and disappeared, said Morgan. Police did not detain Alamilla until Tuesday, February 8th.
