They saw a person standing there and their first instinct was someone had fired a gun.

The officers made a U-turn, but they could not find the man.

Police closed down Barstow Avenue between First Street and 4th Avenue to search the area.

"Yea at this time we did not find any shell casings at this time so we did not get enough evidence that a shooting took place," said Fresno Police Department, Lt. Steve Card.

Police believe the loud bang could have come from fireworks.
