Police and school officials say no one was injured following some chaotic moments at the Liberty High School Homecoming Dance.
A Liberty police spokesperson says officers received calls around 9:40 p.m. about the sound of shots following a fight at the dance.
As police responded, Liberty School District security personnel notified police that the sound of shots was likely from balloons that were popped during the chaos after the fight.
Police and school officials decided to end the dance early following the incident.
Police say several students were detained before being released to their parents. Charges are under review.
While we are incredibly grateful that the report of a firearm turned out to be a false alarm, we also recognize that the situation was chaotic and understandably up
