At least two people were injured after gunshots were fired at a high school football game, according to the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office.
The gunshots were heard around 8:30 p.m. at Pleasantville High School during the Pleasantville/Camden game.
The prosecutor did not state if the people were shot or injured in some other manner.
It appears as if the gunfire came from the bleachers, according to several journalists who were covering the game. Videos and photos posted on social media following the shooting showed spectators running from the stands in a panic.
