Police in Louisiana say a shooting during halftime of a high school football game has killed a 16-year-old student and wounded a woman in the arm
PORT ALLEN, La. — — Gunfire broke out during a high school football game on a warm late-summer evening in Louisiana, killing a 16-year old student and wounding a woman in the arm, authorities said Saturday.
A medical helicopter landed on the field at Port Allen High School and the two victims were rushed to the hospital, where the teen was pronounced dead, Groger said. The woman's injuries were not considered life-threatening. “We don’t know what led up to the event and we don’t yet know if it was a targeted shooting or random," Groger said by phone Saturday, adding, “We want to take our time and cover this from all angles.”
“Our first priorities at this time are to assist the family of the student who died, and all our students, and to assist the West Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office in its investigation,” the board said in a statement Saturday.
