A man reportedly showed up Tuesday with a gun on his waist near a practice field at Bridgetown Middle School in Green Township, according to our news partner WCPO in Cincinnati.

A witness told officers he saw a man pull a gun out of his car and walk across the field. It sent kids running.

“In front of children who don’t need to see that kind of violence,” a woman told WCPO.

The Oak Hills Little Highlanders released a statement on social media about the incident.

They said the altercation involved two parents and was a “family dispute.”

The man admitted to officers he had a gun on school grounds, WCPO said.

He is facing misdemeanor charges of inducing panic.
