No Shots Fired At Bolingbrook Teen Pool Party Skirmish: Police

BOLINGBROOK, IL — Bolingbrook Police are disputing social media rumors about shots being fired at a teen pool party Tuesday night, saying on Wednesday that the event included no serious incidents, police said.

The pool party, which was hosted at Pelican Harbor by the Bolingbrook Park District, grew to a size that forced officials to limit the number of people attending, police said.

Bolingbrook Police were on scene for the party, which police said Wednesday included several skirmishes and a number of teens who exhibited what police called “unruly behavior.” But due to the police presence, the incidents were quickly dealt with and were not serious in nature, police said.

However, police said there were social media reports that gunshots were fired at the event, which officials said on Wednesday did not happen. Police called the reports “false” and said in a news release that the reports of shots fired did not happen.

Police did not report any arrests from the party, which took place over a two-hour period.
