LAS VEGAS — North Las Vegas Police on Wednesday arrested Candace Shante Williams after she reportedly threatened to take her gun and “…shoot some white people,” according to reports.

Police received a tip from a citizen and responded to the 2500 block of Bulloch St. Upon their arrival officers saw an apartment window with what appeared to a rifle with an attached scope protruding, according to CBS 8 Las Vegas .

Officers established a perimeter and secured the nearby area before calling occupants out of the apartment in question. They identified Williams, 33, as the suspect and took her into custody, Post Millennial reported.
