A 22-year-old from Sutton has been arrested and charged with possession of a prohibited firearm, discharging a firearm in a public place, breaching a good behaviour order and breach of bail.
Police were called to the rear of a gym in Gozzard Street, Gungahlin, just after 10pm on Sunday night following reports of a fight between two groups of men.
Police saw a man from one group seemingly trying to conceal a gel-blaster firearm, closely resembling a Glock handgun.
Police say a second man in the group was found to be in possession of a large knife and will be charged via summons for possessing a knife in a public place.
Gel-blaster firearms are prohibited and, police say, significant penalties can apply if a person is found to be in possession of one.

![For graphic designer Tracy Hall, street art is like any artwork, her canvas has been swapped out for fences and plywood, her medium changing from watercolours to spray paint.
A Canberra resident for 13 years, Tracy has been a street and mural artist for the past five.
Her first exploration into grand-scale painting was at the Point Hut toilets in Banks five years ago. “They had just finished doing up the playground area for all the little kids and the words [of graffiti] that were coming up weren’t family friendly,” she says.
“So I ended up drawing this design and I got approval for the artwork.”
Many of Tracy’s time-consuming artworks are free, with thousands of her own dollars put into paint.
