At approximately 5:30 pm Tuesday HPD responded to the area around Pringle and Kleymeyer Streets for a call of shots fired.
According to Sgt. Kenneth Corman, while responding and investigating the call an officer near the scene heard more shots fired from the area of Fernwood
Cemetary about 8 minutes later.
A short time later HPD officers located and detained one male subject believed to be involved in the incident. A few minutes later at 5:44 pm, a new call of shots
fired came out in the 900 blocks of Clay St. Officers responded and collected evidence from that scene. Due to the nature of the calls, a soccer game at South
Middle School was called off. Students and parents were put on temporary lockdown then released under supervision from school staff.
