Investigators say police were called before 12:30 a.m. Sunday to the 400 block of East Calle Escora for reports of loud noises and possible foot and vehicle traffic. When two officers arrived, they say they saw a large gathering of young people at a home in the area and found the loud noises were consistent with what they believe to be firecrackers.
