Preliminary details from the Walker Police Department show Love walked up to a co-worker and pointed a gun at his head.

The intended victim was able to shove the gun away just enough before a shot rang out, said investigators. The man then disarmed Love, wrestling him to the ground until officers got inside.

No one was injured in the incident, according to police.

On Monday, Love was charged with assault with intent to murder, discharging a weapon in a building, illegally carrying a concealed weapon, and use of a firearm in a felony. He was ordered to be held on a $1 million bond.
