Police say gang grudges might have set off a riot Sunday that shut down Havre de Grace?s celebration of Independence Day and required more than 60 police officers to quell.

“There were several people there suspected to be involved in gangs,” said Bob Thomas, a spokesman for the Harford County Sheriff?s Office. “The genesis of the civil disturbance may have been related to gang members.”
