On the 40th anniversary of the Halloween block party in Athens, there was no doubt that it would be exciting. Athens locals and students expected good music and exciting costumes, but no one was expecting gunshots.
After 2 o’clock on Sunday morning, a man pulled out a gun and fired twice in the air on S Court Street. Police immediately responded to the shots by shutting down Court Street.
On twitter the OU scanner let out a series of tweets following the event to update students on the action. The suspect was said to go in the direction of Voigt Hall. OUPD and APD searched the premises, but did not find the gunman.
Someone reported a description of the suspect near the Richland Avenue Bridge according to OU scanner. Police proceeded to shut down Richland Avenue after receiving the reports to investigate. No arrests were made and the shooting still remains under investigation.
