Bethlehem police are searching for a man they say fired multiple shots Saturday afternoon following a youth championship football game at Sell Field.
City Police Captain William Audelo told lehighvalleylive.com the incident began shortly before 4:30 p.m. near the field, Rodgers and Lewis streets in the city.
The incident happened at the end of the championship game with several hundred spectators in attendance, Audelo said.
There were no reported injuries. Investigators recovered nine spent 9mm shell casings at the intersection, Audelo said.
Witnesses reported to city police that the gunfire was the result of an argument that happened after the game. A man fired multiple shots from a handgun into the air and then fled the scene in a black sedan with tinted windows, Audelo said.
As of noon Sunday, no one was in custody. Investigators are reviewing video surveillance footage from the area and continue to investigate.
Bethlehem police seek additional witnesses. Those with information are asked to call 610-865-7000 or email BethlehemPolice@bethlehem-pa.gov. Anonymous information also can be provided on the department’s Tip Line at 610-691-6660.
