The Morning Call, police attended the scene shortly before 11pm on Saturday (August 13), after a single gunshot was reported to be heard between Main Street and Lehigh Street.It’s unclear how many people were involved in the shooting, however in a press release sent from the scene, Bethlehem police chief Michelle Kott said “law enforcement [was] on site and in control of the situation”, and that there was “no known continuing threat to the public”. Kott reportedly noted that an investigation had been launched and described the shooting as an “isolated incident”.Alarmed by the shooting, festival-goers were reportedly sent into a panic that led to several being injured in a stampede. One attendee, Christina, told The Morning Call that she’d witnessed a particularly chaotic surge of bodies running opposite Plaza Tropical.
