Homecoming dance halted due to gunfire

Gunfire between two groups of teenagers brought Richmond High School's homecoming dance to a halt Friday night.

Police, who were on scene during the dance and quickly responded to the incident, locked down the gym where the dance was being held for about half an hour starting at 8:30 p.m.

The shots were fired about a block away from the school following an argument between the teenagers.

Those involved were not students, according to police. The dance resumed around 9 p.m.
