Henderson Police arrested Anthony Kirk on multiple charges after responding to a 911 call from a family member who said he held them at gunpoint in their home.
Police responded to the 2300 block of Adams Ln on May 16th around 9:00 pm.
When officers arrived, they were told Kirk had pointed a handgun at two people and told them to get on the ground. The victims were told to put their hands behind their backs and Kirk said he was going to shoot them. When the victims attempted to leave, Kirk blocked the door. One of the victims received a minor injury while trying to get the handgun away from Kirk.
