Abbeville football game stopped after coaches hear fan threaten to get a gun

The Abbeville High/Franklinton football game was halted with 7:33 remaining in the fourth quarter after Abbeville High assistant coaches overheard a spectator behind the AHS players threatening to get a gun.
Abbeville was losing 50-12 when the game was stopped.
The young man who allegedly made that statement had just been in a pushing match with another person sitting in the first row of the AHS stadium.
 Within seconds, security officers were in the stands trying to escort the young man out of the stadium. As the young man was being escorted out, the Abbeville assistant coaches, with a protective instinct, started waving their hands and directing their players to the safety of the school bus.
In the meantime, the Abbeville Wildcats offense was still on the field, running plays while the AHS coaches were trying to get their players off of the field.
Abbeville High Head Coach Jonathan Zenon walked across the field to tell Franklinton head coach Nick Saltifamagio why he was calling the game.
On the way back, Coach Zenon explained why the game was stopped early.
“There was a group of kids in the stands heard that a guy was going get a gun,” said Zenon. “We decided to end it.”
Once the game was over, Franklinton trotted across the field and onto their bus, while the Wildcats walked to their buses.
When the game was called, Abbeville Principal Phillip Freeman was on the Abbeville High sideline. 
He did not want to make a statement until he investigated the incident.
It was almost two years to the day that someone fired five bullets near the J.H Williams football stadium. It was also Abbeville’s homecoming game. 
On Friday, it is also Abbeville High’s homecoming.
As of Friday night, it was not known if anyone was arrested for allegedly making gun threats on a school campus.
This is the second week a Vermilion Parish football game had a strange ending.
Fighting broke out at the end of last Friday’s North Vermilion/Comeaux High football game. The two teams were suspended from playing this Friday because of the fights.
