ATHENS — Reports from the University of Georgia claim a gun was fired during a dispute between two fraternities on campus early Sunday morning.

An altercation between the Pi Kappa Alpha and Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternities resulted a firearm being discharged.  The incident, which occurred on Greek Park Circle, did not result in any injuries, according to reports.

The UGA Police Chief, Jimmy Williamson, reported that a fraternity member has been identified as the shooter and will likely face charges.  The shooter’s identity was withheld until the investigation is more complete.

According to reports, the shot was fired about 3:30 am Sunday morning from a second floor balcony at the Tau Kappa Epsilon house.  It occurred during a verbal confrontation between the two noted fraternities.

Accounts state that witnesses saw 5-6 members of Pi Kappa Alpha standing between their fraternity house and that of the Tau Kappa Epsilon’s, where about the same number of fraternity members were gathered on the second floor balcony.  Reports state a male wearing a black or dark-colored coat stepped out onto the landing area and pointed what appeared to be a handgun toward the gathered Pi Kappa Alpha members.  That person then reportedly raised the gun and fired a single shot into the air, then lowering the gun toward the Pi Kappa Alpha members.  That broke up the argument, causing all of those gathered to retreat into their houses.

Though concerned, the UGA Police did not believe an imminent danger existed on campus as a result of the event.
