DOVER, Del. — Dover Police arrested two men Friday evening following a large fight and a gunfire incident that occurred after a football game at Dover High School. The suspects, Kameron Scott, 27, and Tony Benson Jr., 20, both of Dover, were taken into custody after a brief foot chase, police said.
The incident began at 8:59 p.m., shortly after the game ended, when a large fight broke out near the entrance to the school’s football stadium. Officers, who were already on scene providing security, responded to the disturbance when they observed Scott discharge a handgun into the air.
Scott fled the scene but was apprehended at a nearby apartment complex after a chase, according to police. Benson Jr., who was also involved in the fight, attempted to flee toward the same complex and was taken into custody following another chase.
Officers later recovered a Taurus .38 Special handgun in the area where Scott had fled. No injuries were reported in connection with the gunfire or the fight.
Dover Police are continuing to investigate the incident, according to Master Corporal Ryan Schmid, the department’s public information officer.
