No one was hurt, but witnesses reported seeing a man from the other group pull out a handgun and fire several shots into the air before fleeing.

No one was struck, cops said, and Odom did not appear to be the intended target or involved in the dispute, despite previous reports.

Before the incident, Odom had announced that he was moving to China. Hit the jump for that strange story.

He wrote, “Happy & proud to announce that I have a signed a global management contract with my new @NinetyPlusOfficial family,” on Instagram two weeks ago.

“I feel so happy to be writing new episodes of my life in another country that’s so huge in basketball,” said Odom, 38. “I am grateful to have you all as my supporting fans through my ups and downs.”
