AVONDALE ESTATES, Ga. — A fireworks show came to an early end Saturday night after gunfire was heard in the area, and one person was detained.
“Out of an abundance of caution, attendees were quickly and safely escorted from the stadium,” the city of Avondale Estates said in a social media post.
Authorities said it was possibly celebratory gunfire near the fireworks show that was underway at Avondale Estates.
No one was hurt in the incident.
“First and foremost, celebratory is extremely dangerous and illegal. This is what looks like we’re working through the case. Weapons are not toys in any way shape or form,” Avondale Estates Police Chief Harry Hess told Channel 2’s Cory James.
The city said all attendees entering the stadium were checked for weapons.
