Weymouth Man Had Stolen Gun, Fired Shot During Altercation: PD

QUINCY, MA – A Weymouth man faces weapons charges in Quincy after allegedly firing a shot during an altercation in the parking lot of a local bar. An officer on patrol responded to the Kelly's Cellar lot on Revere Road around 12:30 a.m. Saturday morning after seeing an altercation between two men.

As he made his way across the lot, one of the men allegedly fired a shot at the other. The officer drew his gun and ordered the man to drop his weapon and put his hands up, police said. The man initially ignored his commands but ducked down behind a parked car upon seeing the officer and turned around with his hands empty.

The man, later identified as 32-year-old Curtis Gordon, told police he worked at the restaurant and was ordered to the ground. A responding officer found the gun, a loaded Glock 27 .40-caliber pistol, on top of the passenger side rear tire of a car, according to police.

Gordon allegedly told police he did not have a license to carry a gun and was placed under arrest. The gun had been reported stolen out of Weymouth, police said.

He was charged with discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a building, possession of a firearm without an FID card, assault by means of a dangerous weapon, possession of ammunition without an FID card, disorderly conduct and receiving stolen property.

Gordon is scheduled to be arraigned in Quincy District Court Monday morning. The other person involved in the altercation fled the scene; it is unknown if he sustained any injuries.

Police said Kelly's Cellar closed Sunday because the building is being demolished.
