Grant County deputies believe mass shooting avoided at Gorge AmphitheaterNear GEORGE, Wash. (20AUG2022) — Grant…Posted by Grant County Sheriff's Office on Saturday, August 20, 2022Last week, this year’s edition of Musikfest – an annual 11-day music festival held in the Leigh Valley town of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania – was temporarily shut down after a shooting incident.As reported by local paper The Morning Call, police attended the scene shortly before 11pm on Saturday (August 13) after a single gunshot was reported to be heard between Main Street and Lehigh Street.It’s unclear how many people were involved in the shooting.

However, in a press release sent from the scene, Bethlehem police chief Michelle Kott said “law enforcement [was] on site and in control of the situation”, and that there was “no known continuing threat to the public”.

Kott reportedly noted that an investigation had been launched and described the shooting as an “isolated incident”.Earlier this month, a shooting scare at Lollapalooza led to a security guard being arrested and charged with making a false terrorist threat, while the Music Midtown event in Atlanta was reportedly forced to cancel its 2022 edition over Georgia’s gun laws.Music Midtown, which takes place in Atlanta, Georgia, was set to take place in September with Jack White, Future, My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy headlining.
