Man With Gun At Youth Football Game Arrested

DULUTH, GA — Police in Duluth arrested a man Saturday after they say he pulled a gun during an argument over a youth league football game.

Police were called to the Duluth High School football field, with callers saying there was a fight in progress and that at least one person had a gun.

When officers arrived, they found that a game had been forfeited and some parents were angry, demanding a refund. During one argument, a man pulled a handgun out of his waistband and pointed it at another adult, according to Duluth Police.

Police say the suspect left the field, but they were able to get a tag number for his vehicle and he was called back to the scene. He was arrested, police said, saying that an "overwhelming amount of people" had seen him pull the gun on school grounds.

The suspect was not identified in a release posted to social media by Duluth Police.

"We here at the Duluth Police Department take everyone's safety seriously, especially inside school zones," the post said.
