DOVER, Del. — A Dover man has been convicted for firing a gun at a high school football game last year, according to court records.
Kameron Scott, 28, was found guilty by a Superior Court jury on multiple charges, including carrying a concealed deadly weapon, possessing a firearm in a safe school zone, resisting arrest, and possession of a firearm and ammunition by a prohibited person. Scott had been barred from possessing firearms due to a previous robbery conviction. The incident occurred on October 18, 2024, during a fight in the Dover High School parking lot at a home football game against Smyrna. Scott fired a single shot into the air before fleeing to a nearby apartment complex. Police recovered the weapon later that evening.
Officials said officers on duty quickly intervened, placing themselves between Scott and dozens of students and families attending the game. Authorities credited their presence and quick response with preventing injuries.
Attorney General Kathy Jennings called the act “incredibly reckless” and said it was fortunate that no one was hurt. Dover Police Chief Thomas Johnson praised the officers’ actions, highlighting their swift pursuit and apprehension of Scott. The case was investigated jointly by the Dover Police Department and the Delaware Department of Justice.
