Reports state that upon arrival to the scene, officers said they did a “thorough search” and “did not locate a firearm.” There were also no injuries in the incident, a police spokesperson added. DeMatha head coach Mike G. Jones III told sources that the two teams did not return to the court to finish the game “out of an abundance of caution.”

Following the game, Bronny James (real name LeBron James Jr.) reportedly took to Instagram and shared a statement regarding the abrupt ending to the event. The 18-year-old athlete uploaded a post via his IG stories and wrote,

“high schoolers can’t even hoop in peace now a days.”

The two teams did not play on Sunday (October 30) following the incident.

As for Bronny, the young basketball star already has a Nike NIL deal and a contract with Beats by Dre.

As previously reported, Bronny made history by becoming the first high school signee to sign an endorsement agreement with Beats by Dre, one of the most popular headphone manufacturers in the world.

Beats by Dre aired a commercial featuring Bronny and his father, professional basketball player LeBron James, to commemorate this brand-new partnership. The two can be seen playing around in their backyard while listening to music on their respective Beats headphones.
