Miami-Dade Detective Lee Cowart said no shots were fired at the stadium.
According to the Miami-Dade Police Department, North District officers responded to the stadium for a male's laceration and a cheerleader who suffered an asthma attack.
The game was interrupted about 9:35 p.m., and resumed about 10 p.m., but most of the crowd at the stadium was gone. Carol City beat Northwestern 28-7.
Miami Sports Tribune reporter J.T. Wilcox tweeted during the incident.
Some sort of negative activity took place in the stands that forced both teams to the locker room and has sent some fans running for cover. Cannot confirm that any gunshots were fired, but the field has been cleared and police are on the scene. #TrazPowellStadium

Play will resume.
But it goes without saying that there's a stain on this game for sure.
