The 33,000 people inside the stadium weren’t going to wait to find out. They surged toward the exits and spilled out onto the streets, taking cover where they could find it, including some of us who found refuge in an apartment building thanks to a stranger who simply held open the door. The exodus was fairly orderly under the circumstances; most disconcerting were the scattered scenes of parents huddled over crying children.
The gunfire turned out to be a drive-by shooting just outside the stadium gates, in which at least three people were wounded. Thus the incident, while unsettling on a larger scale, was less traumatic than the shooting just one day earlier and 3 miles away in which a 6-year-old girl, who had not yet started first grade, was killed when caught in a similar outburst of gunfire.
