Fireworks were reportedly being shot off from two locations tonight, so maybe the show will go on?
Ocean City, MD was already planning on having two locations for fireworks so it looks like they'll still have a show tonight. Again, I hope no one was injured earlier. – https://t.co/T3Ri0IFQW2 https://t.co/MvtrrRiHug
