The Strip in Tuscaloosa was shut Saturday night after a group of people believed they heard gunshots and began to run.

The report of the gunfire happened about 9 p.m., according to Tuscaloosa police officials.

Spokeswoman Stephanie Taylor said several officers were already stationed in the area and responded immediately.

After a thorough check, officers found no evidence that any shots had been fired and confirmed that no one had been injured.

The University of Alabama’s Shot Spotter system, which detects gunfire in the area, did not register any gunfire during that time.

Out of an abundance of caution, Chief Brent Blankley declared The Strip closed at 9 p.m.

Anyone not inside a business or actively leaving the area is required to clear the Strip.

There have been no other major issues reported today, Taylor said, and the atmosphere has otherwise remained safe and orderly.

The incident occurred after the University of Alabama’s A-Day festivities which included a Tide Pride breakfast at Coleman Coliseum and annual Walk of Fame ceremony at Denny Chimes.
