Uncertain panic in stands, on field forces end to Miami high school game

— -- A Miami high school football game was halted Friday night when fans, players, coaches and officials ran from the stadium en masse after a disturbance stemming from the apparent sound of gunfire.

In video posted online, players can be seen ducking and running as spectators flee, while coaches and game officials also run off the field during the Carol City-Miami Central playoff game at Traz Powell Stadium in North Miami.

Police have taken five suspects into custody after responding to reports of gun shots in the area, according to local Fox affiliate WSVN-TV. It was unclear if the shots were from inside or outside the stadium.

"You hate to see anything like that happen, but luckily it seems like no one was hurt," Central coach Roland Smith said after the game, according to the Miami Herald.

Video posted online by Sun Sentinel sports writer Omar Kelly showed part of the sequence of events. The game was called with 2:58 left in the fourth quarter with Central winning 36-8, according to the Herald.
