Bullet casings were found on the street in the 100 block of Doucet Road according to Jim Hummel of KATC.

So far, there have been no reports that anyone was actually shot.

Sgt Green tells KATC -

"While officers were dealing with the large crowd a verbal altercation erupted between a group of juveniles and the occupant of SUV (unknown make and model). The SUV fled onto Doucet road heading towards Johnston Street with the juveniles running after it. Around the same time the SUV fled the area gun shots were heard being fired."

As of now, no arrests have been made.
