Armed police swooped on a block of flats after a man was apparently seen firing weapons from a balcony.
The alleged shooter was seen outside a flat in Dock Head Road, Chatham, at about 08:35 BST, Kent Police said.
A video posted on Twitter suggested he was seen firing shots and loud bangs could be heard.
Officers arrested a man in his 30s on suspicion of firearms offences and found four suspected imitation firearms at the scene, the force said.

Video at link. Psychopath. Even if they were all imitations that couldn't fire bullets, aiming them at people and firing scared the shit out of everyone, quite understandably.
