Around 10 p.m. on Saturday evening, shots were fired near Brothers Bar and Grill at Eddy Street Commons, according to a press release issued by the South Bend Police Department (SBPD) early Sunday morning.
During the incident, several officers “were attempting to help disperse large crowds in Eddy Street Commons when they heard gunfire in the area,” according to the press release. Multiple SBPD officers remained on the scene to investigate and check for possible victims.
No one was injured, but police shared that five vehicles and two apartments were damaged. The shooting took place during the Notre Dame vs. Texas A&M football game, where thousands of fans gathered in Notre Dame Stadium.
University officials and the Notre Dame Police Department did not issue a warning or comment on the situation. “We defer to SBPD on this incident,” Erin Blasko, associate director of the Office of Media Relations, wrote.
Police initially detained two individuals but later released them, SBPD shared in the press release. The South Bend Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit continues to investigate the incident.
The police ask that anyone with information about the incident report it anonymously through Michiana Crime Stoppers by calling 574-288-STOP or visiting their website.
