Orange police were called to two separate incidents of gunshots during the weekend, but no one was hurt and no damage was reported. One incident was Saturday morning at Willow Bend Apartments on Sikes Road and the other was Sunday night on Bowling Lane.
Detective Captain Robert Enmon said the apartment shot was fired in the air to break up a fight that had started when one of the women was registering her child for youth ball at Memorial Field.
Police were called to Memorial Field for a Class A misdemeanor assault at 10 a.m. Saturday. The patrol officer reported a woman said another woman had punched her.
Then officers were called to the apartments, 4030 Sikes Road at 11:20 a.m. Police said a large group of people were yelling and screaming.
Enmon said the fight at the baseball field moved to the apartments and someone shot a gun into the air to break up the crowd. Some of the people involved are from Houston and investigators are getting in touch with them, he said. No arrests have been made.
About 10:30 Sunday night, police had a 911 call to Bowling Lane because of gunshots. The patrol officer reported several residents standing outside when he arrived. They reported hearing 10 to 11 shots and officers collected bullet casings.
Captain Enmon said someone drove down the street shooting a gun into the air. No damage was found. Detectives are trying to find home surveillance video to see if they can track down the shooter.
