Middle school football field evacuated Monday due to neighbor firing weapon

According to the Greene County Sheriff’s Office, after reporting the shots, the caller said the field was evacuated and everyone was safe and uninjured. Dispatchers told the caller to keep everyone inside the building while deputies responded.

The sheriff’s office said multiple deputies began to search the area, and soon found a nearby resident “engaging in target practice” on his property.

Deputies found there was no active threat, but the sheriff’s office is investigating whether there was any criminal wrongdoing that could be presented to the appropriate prosecutor.
