When a Skokie man pointed a handgun at his estranged boyfriend, the other man grabbed a bow and arrow, police said.
 
The 25-year-old Skokie man is scheduled for a Sept. 14 court date after he allegedly threatened his former boyfriend with a gun, police said.
 
Police responded to a domestic dispute in the 7400 Keeler Avenue in Skokie shortly before 5 p.m. on August 28.  They encountered David Brandon Houston who told them that he had received a text message from his ex-boyfriend.
 
The message said that boyfriend was moving out and taking Houston’s dog.
 
Police said Houston threatened the other man, pointing a handgun at him. The other man responded by getting a bow and arrow.
 
No one was injured.
 
Police recovered three handguns from the home. Houston was charged with aggravated assault and unlawful use of a weapon and is scheduled for a Sept. 14 hearing at the Skokie courthouse.
