Chaos erupted on Park Ave. in Lake Havasu City when a loud pop shattered the night, initially believed to be the result of gunfire, caused residents to scramble for safety; however, it has since been revealed that no shots were fired. According to an update from the Lake Havasu City Police Department, the noise that caused panic was actually the sound of a rock thrown through the window of a vehicle. The incident occurred on Saturday, just before 1 a.m., and the response from law enforcement was immediate.

Initial reports claimed an unidentified male suspect shot at the victim's vehicle while fleeing the scene, prompting an intensive hunt by local authorities. The investigation, spearheaded by the Lake Havasu City Police Department's Criminal Investigations Unit, focused on a residence on Rover Dr., where the supposed gunman was located. The incident, which had the community bracing for news of another senseless act of gun violence, turned out to be founded on mistaken assumption; the shattering glass was deemed the result of a rock, not a bullet.

No injuries were reported in connection with the incident, which has been a source of relief for the locals. The Police Department's Public Information Officer, Sergeant Kyle Ridgeway, confirmed that the investigation is still active as new details continue to emerge. Witnesses, victims, and the suspected individual have all been interviewed, helping to unravel the confusion of that night.
