On Nov. 3, 2020 at approximately 3:30 p.m. officers of the Abbeville Police Department responded to the 400 block of Kibbe Street in reference to shots being fired in the area.
Cases of COVID-19 are increasing in the Acadiana area.
The recent spike has already had an effect on some schools in Vermilion Parish.
Superintendent Tommy Byler announced last week that Erath High School would operate virtually through next week. Students are set to return on Monday, Nov. 30. All schools will be off next week for the Thanksgiving Holiday.
Consequently, that led to the cancelation of Erath High’s final two football games of the season, including this Friday’s game against Abbeville High. The Wildcats will now take on Berwick High on the road.
