False Report Halts High School Football Game

The high school football game between Stratford and Summerville in Goose Creek, Berkeley County, was abruptly halted and the stadium evacuated following a false report of shots fired. Goose Creek Police Department received a 911 call claiming multiple shots were fired, prompting officers to clear the venue. No gunshots were actually fired, and no injuries were reported. Witnesses mentioned seeing someone with a gun at the stadium's entrance, which led to the evacuation out of an abundance of caution. The game, which was Summerville's season opener, was stopped at halftime with Summerville leading 28-14 and will not be rescheduled. Authorities are continuing to investigate the incident to provide further details.
