JAMES McGuinness was due to appear in court on Monday (October 6) charged with attempted murder after a firearms incident in Yeovil.
The 30-year-old, of Yeovil, faces charges of attempted murder, possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, and possession of a firearm while prohibited.
He was remanded in custody and was due before Yeovil Magistrates’ Court.
It comes after police were called to reports of a firearm being discharged at the Lufton Trading Estate, in Yeovil, at around 12.45pm on Wednesday, October 1.
No one was injured in the incident, police said.
A woman in her 20s, who was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, has been released on bail while enquiries continue.
A red 4X4 was seized last week and officers have also been reviewing CCTV footage and carrying out house-to-house enquiries as part of the investigation.
Inspector Roseanna Green said: “These two arrests mark a step forward in our investigation which is still continuing.
“We have no information to suggest there is any wider risk to the public, however officers are working tirelessly to ensure we identify the people responsible.
“Extra patrols have been taking place in the area since Wednesday and these will be continuing.
“If you have any questions or concerns, they will be happy to help.”
