Multiple schools in Murfreesboro, Tennessee went into lockdown after a nearby resident heard gunshots and a scream. The resident called 911 and there were concerns of an active shooter in the area – but police put that idea to bed.

The police department shared a statement on social media to clarify that the situation did not involve any schools. After gunshot were reported around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, police locked down schools as a precaution. They later found out that a man was calling out of town family members to reveal the gender of his baby. "During the phone call, the expectant father stepped outside and fired celebratory rounds from a handgun into the air and the expectant mother screamed out of excitement of the news of a baby boy," the department's post reads.
