An Ohio student was shot Friday evening outside a Cincinnati high school where a football game was taking place, authorities said.
Police in North College Hill said the gunfire erupted at around 8:15 p.m. in the parking lot of the stadium during a game between the North College Hill and Woodward High School teams.
The stadium was immediately evacuated and a student-athlete with gunshot wounds was rushed to a hospital.
The shooting is the second to occur near the stadium during a football game this month after a similar incident on Sept. 6.
“I feel absolutely helpless, but I acknowledge that we cannot control the actions of those who choose to engage in harmful behavior,” North College Hill Principal Eugene Blalock Jr. said.
“I live in North College Hill. It’s a great community, but there are far too many guns out here on the street.”
