A Vermont man is facing charges after allegedly pointing a loaded gun at people.

Fifty-nine-year-old Douglas Pike of Wells River was charged with two counts of reckless endangerment just after midnight on Monday.

State police say officers responded to a home on Elm Street in Wells River, where Pike allegedly pointed a loaded muzzle loader rifle at several people.

He was arrested, and is due in court on Tuesday.

It's not clear if he has an attorney.
