Six children were captured walking through a Tamuning neighborhood over the weekend.

Neighbors heard what they thought was gunfire, the video captured the source of it after one child is seen playing with a makeshift cannon.

The child goes back to the group before another boy is then seen doing the same thing while aiming the cannon toward private property.

The loud bang even too much for the child who then covered his ears in pain after firing off the cannon. 

Police responded and counseled the children and their parents for the nuisance.

Then in Dededo, fireworks are captured in a neighborhood off Alageta Road.

It's a situation many are seeing across the island.

With loud bangs and firearms going off, the community is clearly excited about ringing in 2025.

But the public is being warned that certain activities are against the law.

“As we get closer and gear up for the New Year's Eve celebration, we advise people there are firearms laws that do dictate where you can discharge your firearms,” said Guam Police Chief Stephen Ignacio. 

Ignacio told KUAM his officers have been responding to reports of revelers celebrating early.

“If you are going to go out and celebrate, take cover under a hardened facility. and try to stay away from the illegal fireworks and the illegal firearms discharge,” Ignacio added. 

Guam law states any person in the business of importing, dealing, distributing, storing, or otherwise receiving consumer fireworks shall obtain a license from the Guam Fire Department.

It cannot be sold to anyone under the age of 18 and every fireworks device or the packaging in which they are sold has the word “caution” or “warning”.

“I don't know yet if there are any vendors that are out there illegally selling fireworks. I don't know where that law is and the administrative rules with the Guam Fire Department. But should you be discharging your fireworks, make sure they are licensed or authorized to be discharged. Always practice safety,” Ignacio added. 

Anyone caught breaking the fireworks law faces fines anywhere from $100 to $5,000 based on the number of offenses.
