Aimed/pointed there guns at/after him.
The cops rushed out of the house to see Nelson running down the hill. The cops aimed/pointed there guns at/after him, but didn't shoot as he was too far away.
"Pointed" seems to be the natural choice, but is "aimed" correct as well?
If it's from a distance should I use "at" or "after"?
