2 shot during South Florida high school football game

A high school football stadium was evacuated after gunshots rang out during a practice football game in South Florida on Friday night in what authorities say stemmed from an altercation between students.

Palm Beach County Sheriff's officials said two people were injured in the gunfire during the game at Palm Beach Central High School. The victims were not identified.

Florida Highway Patrol spokesperson Lt. Alvaro A. Feola said in a statement early Saturday that both adult male victims remain hospitalized, and one is critical condition. No information about the condition of the second victim was given.

COMMENT:-

Sort of makes you yearn for the good old days when they only used knives and bicycle chains - doesn't it?

The problem is the football players were all not carrying guns on the field. For some any gun problem can only be solved with more guns
 
UPDATE

From FOX News

Shooting victims at high school football game were targeted, officials say
The Friday night shooting outside a Florida high school football game in which two men were wounded had nothing to do with the students, and two suspects targeted the victims, authorities said.

One of the two victims was identified as Daniel Foster Sr., 39, the father of Daniel Foster Jr., a linebacker for the Dwyer High School team, who were the visiting side. The father was in stable condition with a gunshot wound to his torso, authorities said.

The other injured person was a 29-year-old man whose name was not released. He was in critical but stable condition, officials said Saturday, according to the Palm Beach Post.
 
It would not surprise me to find out this is about money or drugs.

The shooter knew their target would have their guard down

It also wouldn't surprise me to find out that the shooting was because the coach wasn't playing the shooter's kid enough.

It also wouldn't surprise me to find out that the shooting was because the victim's dog kept defecating in the shooter's yard.

It also wouldn't surprise me to find out that the shooting was because one of the two was a "liberal" and the other was a "conservative".

It also wouldn't surprise me to find out that the shooting was because the shooter was still mad about losing a parking space to the victim.

Or maybe the shooter was just expressing his displeasure over the victim smoking in a "No Smoking" area.
