You can’t go school shopping. You can’t go to church. Now, it seems you can’t even go to a high school football game without the risk of being shot.
Ten people were shot during a high school football game at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile, Alabama, Friday night.
Via WKRG:
“The shots were fired in the concourse of the stadium near the end of the LeFlore vs. Williamson High School football game.
Mobile Police Chief Lawrence Battiste tells News 5 those injured range in age from 15-18. Five people were critically hurt.
The five patients transported by MFRD were taken to the hospital in critical condition, but with non-life threatening injuries.”
A 17-year-old by the name of Deangelo Parnell would soon turn himself in and be formally charged with nine counts of attempted murder, according to a spokesperson for the Mobile Police Department.
The shooting was said to have happened during a fight, which caused Parnell to begin firing into the crowd.

“Why are the young people bringing this type of violence to public events? They’re bringing their beefs that they have with each other in their neighborhoods and they’re putting other people in harm’s way. ” Mobile Police Chief Lawrence Battiste told reporters. “We’re going to have to be more aggressive on our end, the city, as to how we hold the individual accountable when they go before the courts. We have got to make sure they understand that we will not tolerate juvenile violence in our community.”
