Police on Alert After Roman Candle Battles Erupt Across the Country

Fireworks are fun, but when handled incorrectly, they can be dangerous. Video captured a woman in Brooklyn, New York, firing off her Roman candle like a gun as she walked down the street on the Fourth of July. In the footage, sparks can be seen flying everywhere as pedestrians flee. Meanwhile, in Oakland, California, a Roman candle battle broke out at a basketball court. People can be seen ducking for cover in video of the incident as the fireworks rain down.
