I remember when I did an article on a Deadspin report of a shooting near a high school football game (I believe it was a playoff game.) in Florida a number of years back.
Now, according to MSN, it sounds like it's happening every week this season!
This week, two high-schoolers injured near Philly.
Last week, a mother allegedly told her son to shoot up a high-school football game in Fort Worth, injuring two.
The day before that, three were shot in the parking lot after a game in Virginia. First indications were that the rivalry between the two schools was the cause.
A 48 year-old was shot and killed outside a stadium where a game was played the week before that.
Another Pennsylvania game that same night had gunshots around it.
August 31, 10 high schoolers were shot in a shooting spree in Alabama.
And a week before that, a gun produced at a game got the game cancelled.
That's five weeks in a row now. We are damn fortunate, by my count, that we have only the one fatality.
