Eugene Police say a University of Oregon graduate student has been arrested for shooting guns into the ceiling of his campus-area house.

Officers arrested the 30-year-old early Saturday on 39 counts of unlawful use of a weapon and second-degree disorderly conduct. University officials say he is a graduate teaching fellow at the university.

Eugene police say they received four calls from neighbors who heard gunfire coming from the southeast campus home.

Investigators say they found at least 39 bullet holes in his ceiling, and later seized several firearms and other evidence from inside the house.
