the 10 o'clock news starts right now
with a breaking news alert and that
breaking news is from Terry Parker High
School to Arlington this is where we're
hearing a young person has been shot at
a football game
Terry Parker hosting revolt for their
spring football game we've got several
crews working on this story right now
several headed to that scene and others
around the city they're important for
exactly an information is still coming
into our newsroom right now we as you
mentioned several crews heading to Terry
Parker we have a look at what it looked
like after the shooting their football
players were lying on the ground in the
school Stadium and News 4 jacks reporter
Eric I mean they just got to the school
he's joining us live with what he's been
able to find out Karen yes right now we
are just outside the stadium where as
you can see this is still an active
crime scene here there's still Jaso
officers on scene of course of the Duval
County public school police force is
also out here as well now here's what we
have found out so far we found out that
it was during this game between Terry
Parker and REE Balta High School it was
during the third quarter they heard what
sounded like most people thought that it
was a firecracker going off of some sort
of firework going off not realizing
there was actual gunshot although some
people did think that it was a gunshot
I'm told that there was pandemonium
people started running as you said
earlier on there were football players
that were on the field that were ordered
to get down they stay flat on the ground
at one point they kept everybody inside
the stadium because from what we
understand the shooting may have
happened outside the stadium now just
moments ago my for one of my
photographers spoke to a parent who said
that she saw the kid that was shot said
it was outside the outside of the
stadium here I believe it was near the
concession stand or near the area where
the the front gate area was and that's
pretty consistent from what we heard
from another parent whom I spoke with
over the phone who said that the gunshot
sounded like it came from the entrance
now just moments ago I also spoke with a
football player from reball I want you
to hear what he had to say because he
was on the field when this happened
kind of tummy our reaction to how
everything just went out played out I
really want tension
I was focused on the game I like I heard
the noise but I thought it's a fight
were harder than it paid no attention
but when I turned around I see everyone
running so we really just taught us to
get on the ground
I just thought it was when that happens
what's going through your mind I was
worried about my family I was trying to
see you know was my family straight but
once I got my data finding I finally
came out and I knew was all right
no I believe I heard one of my producers
tell me that we also have sound from the
mother and I spoke with if we do can we
go ahead and roll that because she was
in the stands when this all played out
let's go ahead and roll that audio okay
so I want to ask you what did you see
what did you hear and how are people
reacting afterwards directions and
people were trying to get down off the
stadium what was your reaction when you
saw all this play out in front of you as
a mom this is going to be very
nerve-wracking because this isn't the
first time we've had a shooting outside
or or during a sporting event in that
area
entertainment so you think and then when
you come to the game it's just it's not
safe and I think if they're keeping you
guys in the stadium yeah well they do
this ad and they were gathering all the
players to put them on the bus just now
so everyone is pretty much trying to get
out in their vehicles was a lot of
people running when the shot was fired
that's where most people were running
the others were trying to find ways down
from the stands and trying to grab the
little ones and it was just craziness
and the players we're told to get down
on the ground it was crazy in a general
area where that shot was fired where was
that that was towards where you pay your
ticket when you first come in it was
right there and that's where everyone
took off running at the most
now that mom I spoke back here life
there mom I spoke with said that she is
on her way to Reebok because she said
that her son who plays for the Reebok
football team they put them on the bus
and they're headed back that way
so that is where she's going now she
also mentioned something I thought was
pretty interesting because she's pretty
upset she said that it was almost like
there was no plan for something like
this she said that there was not a lot
of security and she said that when this
happened when people realized it was a
gunshot again one single gunshot she
said a lot of people were running toward
the entrance to get out she said it was
as though it was one way in and one way
out there was just a lot of confusion
there so obviously that is gonna be
something that we are gonna look into
later on but right now the news is that
a young man has been shot a young a
young person has been shot we don't have
the condition of that person we don't
have the identity of that person and
right now it doesn't appear that there
is a suspect in custody but as soon as
we get that information we will post
that information to our website news for
Jack's calm of course we'll also have it
live here reporting live Erica Vijay
channel 4 the local station Erik did she
mention to you or anybody there
mentioned whether they had security
right at that area yeah when I spoke to
her she said that it she said based on
her observation there was not a lot of
security she says normally and some of
the other games there's more security
there's more police presence she says in
this one she did not see a lot of
security like at the parameters because
you know it was just not they believe it
was like last year we had that incident
and thought it was a reball tub football
game earlier in the season where there
was a shooting outside of the stadium
and after that shooting you know the
week later in the weeks after that there
was a ton of security everywhere you
look every corner that you look but she
says in this case there was not a lot of
security and that was the one thing that
she noticed and and that is why she is
also why she is so upset over this any
Eric yeah you're referencing what
happened last year beginning of the 2018
season it rains a high school with a
game with
and yeah it's a similar kind of
situation where we're hearing about the
same type of area right outside just
outside the stadium and that sort of
thing I wonder if you're seeing any of
the fans or the students still there
right now because when we talk to you on
the phone some 30 minutes ago they're
saying hey most of the people are
clearing out of there there's still
people there or just emergency
responders yes actually
well obviously within the last couple of
minutes I have seen people still leaving
in fact while we were running that audio
clip there was a family that was just
behind me they didn't want to go on
camera but they say that they were there
moments before you guys came came to me
live I spoke to like I said the player
that we had that audio with spoke with
him there's quite a few parents that
were coming up in fact there were some
parents that were driving up they were
picking their kids up and when we
arrived so there was like I would say a
migration of people that were coming out
but not everyone not everyone felt
comfortable going on camera some people
are just basically telling us yeah we
heard the shot we saw people running but
there were some people that I did speak
with and I know even that mom I spoke
with at the time when she called me had
no idea that someone actually been shot
because again most people that were
inside the stadium they heard the shot
for one they first thought that again
some people thought that it was a
firework going off others obviously knew
that it was a gunshot but I think a lot
of people that were inside did not
realize that someone outside had
actually been shot so at least that's
the impression that I'm getting at least
one that mom but I spoke with who was in
the stands guys Erica via reporting live
to us from Terry Parker high school in
Arlington
