Russell we don't believe there were any guns or shots fired. Clay County School Board police were working the <span class="wsc-grammar-problem" data-grammar-phrase="event and" data-grammar-rule="COMMA_COMPOUND_SENTENCE" data-wsc-lang="en_US">event and</span> we sent officers to assist. It appears students yelled either "gun" or "run" causing a panic. The game resumed and left units on scene to assist to make sure everyone felt safe. Sheriff Daniels has stated in the past if and when needed we will respond to assist at the schools. Keith <br/> Hope this helps. <br/> And no arrest have been made on our part but you also need to check with school police as well.
