Bethlehem<\/a> police are searching for a man they say fired multiple shots Saturday afternoon following a youth championship football game at Sell Field.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The incident happened at the end of the championship game with several hundred spectators in attendance, Audelo said.<\/p>\n

There were no reported injuries. Investigators recovered nine spent 9mm shell casings at the intersection, Audelo said.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

As of noon Sunday, no one was in custody. Investigators are reviewing video surveillance footage from the area and continue to investigate.<\/p>\n

Bethlehem police seek additional witnesses. Those with information are asked to call 610-865-7000 or email BethlehemPolice@bethlehem-pa.gov<\/a>. Anonymous information also can be provided on the department\u2019s Tip Line at 610-691-6660.<\/p>\n
