Man fired AK-47 during ‘dispute’ at soccer game in Everett

A man fired an AK-47 assault rifle in Everett Sunday night amid an argument at a soccer game, police said.

Around 8:45 p.m., Everett police received a report of a male with an AK-47 at Rivergreen Park, the Everett Police Department wrote on social media.

The person who fired the gun fled the area before officers arrived, police said.

“It was determined that there was a dispute during the soccer game and the male went to his vehicle, took out the AK-47 and fired off one round,” the department said.

The sale and possession of assault rifles like the AK-47 are prohibited in Massachusetts under the state’s assault weapons ban.

No injuries were reported, police said.

Police do not have any information about what type of vehicle the suspect drove, they said. Everett police will provide additional information as it becomes available, the department wrote.
