A Saturday morning youth soccer sport in Maryland ended with a person lifeless and a 5-year-old wounded.
The capturing reportedly occurred within the bleachers on the Potomac Excessive College soccer subject, which is simply outdoors of Washington, D.C.
Prince George’s County Police Chief Malik Aziz mentioned the capturing was the results of an altercation between two people who knew one another — and never one thing that occurred on the sector.
“They seemed to be, at this stage, to know one another and produce some concern outdoors of this sport and introduced it to this sport, the place 7-year-olds had been enjoying a soccer sport,” he mentioned.
The 5-year-old was taken to a hospital within the space, Aziz mentioned, with non-life-threatening accidents.
“We’re listening to, fortunately and prayerfully, that the kid who was shot on this incident goes to get well,” mentioned County Government Angela Alsobrooks.
The suspect reportedly left the scene and has not been caught, however Aziz assured the group that officers have leads that they’re following up on.
“We now have an awesome perception that we’ll carry that particular person to justice,” Aziz mentioned.
