Teen Shot at Our Lady of Greenwood Festival; Suspect Reportedly in Custody

Unverified reports of gunfire at a family summer festival have raised urgent public-safety concerns for attendees and nearby residents.

Overview

  • Witnesses and scanner traffic say shots were fired at the Our Lady of the Greenwood summer festival, prompting people to run for cover and a heavy police response.
  • Local reporting and scanner feeds indicate a teenage male was shot in the foot or ankle and was taken from the scene by ambulance.
  • Those same accounts say a teenage suspect was detained by police, but Greenwood authorities and festival organizers had not issued formal confirmation at the time of reporting.
  • The festival drew families and was held near the Greenwood Fairgrounds, with attendees describing chaotic scenes and some people sheltering inside nearby businesses.
  • Police planned to release official information later, and key questions remain about motive, charges, and whether the event will reopen or change safety measures going forward.
