HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Houston police responded to an incident that broke out at Barnett Stadium during a high school football game in southeast Houston on Friday evening.
HPD confirmed a fight sent people running from the stands and onto the field during the Yates vs. Madison game.
Lt. Larry Crowson told Eyewitness News there was “stomping” on the metal bleachers which people thought were gunshots. He said no weapons or shell casings were found.
Crowson said several other fights broke out during the chaos, and that HISD police took several people into custody. He said nobody was taken to the hospital.
Players from both schools were seen shaking hands after the game was called.
