A shot was fired at a Memphis television station on Tuesday, but no one was wounded, the station said.
The suspect then hid in a nearby business before he was arrested about two hours later, police said.
WHBQ, the Fox affiliate in Tennessee’s second-largest city, reported that the shot was fired about 11:30 a.m. The bullet came down outside the front door of the lobby of the building, which is in a commercial area near the University of Memphis campus.
Police said the armed suspect went into a nearby hamburger restaurant, and authorities advised the public to stay out of the area. The university and Memphis police said about two hours later that the suspect had been taken into custody. No injuries were reported, Memphis police said.
The university issued an advisory telling students and faculty to shelter indoors. It later said that normal campus activity could resume.
