The police are presently investigating two distinct incidents involving firearms at school football matches this week.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In the first incident on Monday, an entire team bus was escorted to the police headquarters after a flare gun was reportedly discharged from inside the bus, with players and spectators present.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, no injuries were reported during this incident, which occurred in Clare Hall.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Meanwhile, on Tuesday, a student was apprehended with a firearm at the Radio Range playing field during a school football match.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Reports suggest that the student was allegedly displaying the gun to others when a plainclothes officer at the match noticed the activity.<\/p>\n

Upon inquiry, Rowan Benjamin, the coordinator of school football, confirmed that both incidents are currently under the jurisdiction of law enforcement.<\/p>
