POLICE SHOOTING-SPRINGFIELD

(AP) — A man accused of pointing a gun at police officers in Springfield, Missouri, is now in custody. 

Springfield police say Talon Williams was arrested Monday afternoon after a manhunt that lasted several hours. 

A news release said officers saw a spray-painted Chevrolet van at a convenience store just after 2 a.m. Monday and realized the driver was Williams, who had a warrant for a parole violation. 

As officers tried to speak with Williams, he allegedly pointed a gun at officers, who responded by firing into the van. 

Williams was apparently not struck by a bullet and drove away. 

The van was later found abandoned. 

Williams was arrested around 4 p.m. Monday.
