WAUKESHA COUNTY, Wis. (CBS 58) -- A QAnon supporter from Nashotah faces state and federal charges after police say he opened fire with a paintball gun at an active Army base in Pewaukee.

Pewaukee police say the paintball gun looked like an AR-15 assault rifle, terrifying about a dozen reservists out in the parking lot.

Shots were fired, they took cover, and in the end, the man with the extremist views was arrested.

Exactly one week ago, police say the blue Subaru with QAnon slogans spray painted on it showed up at the Pewaukee Army Reserve base, and the driver, 31-year-old Ian Alan Olson, got out and aimed what looked like an assault rifle at the Army reservists, shouting, "This is for America!"

"The scene was a little chaotic in the sense that reserve members didn't know what exactly was all going on at the time," said Pewaukee Police Lt. Mark Garry.

The 911 call to Pewaukee police came in around 11:30 in the morning from one of the reservists who was able to help tackle the gunman.
