AT&T customers faced a network outage and 911 service disruption due to a software glitch Tuesday night.

An AT&T spokesperson told CNN that the network carrier had fixed a software glitch that affected some customers’ connections. On Tuesday evening, police in Pinole, California, warned on social media that some AT&T wireless users might have trouble calling 911, but landlines and other carriers weren’t affected. The local government advised residents to use a non-emergency number for urgent issues until things were fixed.
