Grant Union shooting: Man killed during disturbance, police say
Authorities say the shooting happened after a disturbance in the parking lot just outside of the football game.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A man was killed after gunshots rang out during a disturbance outside of a Sacramento high school football game Friday. Authorities say the disturbance involved a group of around 20 people who are not believed to be students.
According to police, around 10 pm Friday, as a football game between the Grant Union Pacers and the Monterey Trail Mustangs was nearing its end, a disturbance broke out in the parking lot of Sacramento’s Grant Union High School, where the game was being held.
The disturbance led to gunshots, police spokesperson Sergeant Zach Eaton said. At least one person and a car were hit by gunfire before law enforcement from at least two agencies flooded the scene.
A man in his 20s was shot and taken to an area hospital where he died, Eaton said.
Photos from the scene showed multiple evidence markers near shattered glass and an empty magazine. Authorities say one gun was recovered.
“This marks the 50th homicide in our city,” Eaton said. “This violence continues to be unacceptable in our city.”
The Sacramento Police Department is looking into the homicide and are asking witnesses and those with information to come foreword by calling investigators at 916-808-5471.
