MATTOON, Ill. (WAND) –

Adults from both parties got involved. Police said the fight was escalated by the adults to the point where they were throwing ceramic garden gnomes at one another.

Police said men from both sides pulled handguns and started firing “indiscriminately.”

Correction: males, not men.

They were probably gnome to the police.
