The Jonas Brothers just wanted to play golf in Aventura. Then the bullets flew.

A golf outing with friends Sunday in Miami turned scary for Nick and Kevin Jonas, The Daily Mail first reported.

The pop stars, who were in town for a concert the night before at the BB&T Center, were reportedly playing a round on the 17th hole at the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort and Spa when they heard a loud popping noise. The men then reportedly saw something whiz by and hit a nearby pond, an eyewitness told the UK publication.

Aventura Police Department spokesman Carlos Rivas confirmed there was an “incident” involving the Jonas brothers and a report was taken.

“During day light hours, the Aventura Police Department responded to the J.W. Marriott Turnberry Resort in reference to a call regarding a suspicious incident where alleged shots were being fired on the golf course where the Jonas Brothers where on at the time,” read the APD’s statement. “Our preliminary investigation has revealed that someone from a high floor in a condo building adjacent to the golf course shot with a pellet or BB gun at ducks in the pond located on the golf course.”

The statement adds that no one was injured and there are currently no safety concerns in the area.

The investigation is ongoing to find out who is responsible.

Turnberry also released a statement: “We are aware of a situation that is being reported. The safety and security of our guests and employees is always a top priority. Because this matter is under police department investigation, it would be inappropriate to comment further.”
