Disturbance brings early end to Salt Bowl football game in War Memorial Stadium

A disturbance — perhaps a fight and some knocked-down barriers that sounded like gunshots — brought a third-quarter end to the annual Salt Bowl high school football game Saturday night at War Memorial Stadium between Benton and Bryant High Schools. Bryant was ahead 28-14, KARK reports, and the crowd of 38,000 fled in a chaotic exit.

LRPD is saying no gunshots were fired. There might have been minor injuries in the scramble to exit. KARK reports a Taser was used and that might have prompted the concerns in the crowd that a gun was fired.
