The driver of a party bus that spent part of its night in Old Town this weekend is now facing charges after shots were reportedly fired from his bus.

Omar Massoud, 32, of Uptown, is facing two misdemeanor charges over the incident. Chicago police found five weapons inside the party bus early Sunday morning, after hearing gunfire in the 100 block of West Division Street, near the intersection of Division and Clark streets, around 2:30 a.m., according to the Sun-Times.

No one was reported injured by the gunfire, and police said they questioned a 35-year-old man.
