4 People Shot At Oklahoma High School Football Game Friday

[Wednesdays]

CHOCTAW, Okla. —

Numerous law enforcement officers responded after shots were fired Friday night during Choctaw High School's home football game against Del City High School at Bill Jensen Field.

Mark Rodgers, who was covering the game for The Sports Animal, told KOCO 5 that he heard shots being fired around 10:15 p.m. during the third quarter, stopping the game.

One of the victims was taken to a hospital, where they were treated and released for a wound to their thigh. Marshall also said at least one of the victims was a student.

Information about the other three victims’ conditions is unknown. Police have not released any other details about the victims.


Pandemonium on the field -- see on the video.

1. here's a question--why are HS games played so late at night

if kids normally get out of school at 3pm, why not have games at 5:30 or 6pm? They were in the third quarter at after 10pm at night? yikes

2. Heat I'd guess. And give everyone time to get there.

The away team has to travel with all their gear and cheerleaders.

I think our games kicked off at 7:00 or 7:30.

4. Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner!

Heat indexes were near 110 during the day.

15. Dallas Real Temperature was 110 Yesterday

they were moving games later to 8:00 when temperatures fell below 100

22. Indeed.

Just about everyone south and east of Colorado had heat warnings or advisories yesterday.

6. good point--makes sense

[rurallib]

12. there is also often a JV game before the main contest

[ProfessorGAC]

25. Yeah, Here In Illinois,...

...even when big schools are involved the Frosh/Soph game is played before the varsity game. (Freshman play on Mondays at 4:30 around here.)

24. Oklahoma is in an extreme heat wave, apparently.

Games moved to after dark for safety reasons.

9. Is this one of those dreaded "democrat-run" cities

[sinkingfeeling]

14. Choctaw, Oklahoma? Get real.

[Walleye]

17. I'm sorry, that was an attempt at actual sarcasm

[sinkingfeeling]

18. I know, so was my reply.

[Brainfodder]

19. You did some fine sarcasm there!

21. There was a minor shooting in Sox Park* in Chicago last night and the RWNJs are screaming about it.

Trotting out the their old statistics-defiant nonsense about violence in Democrat-run cities. I'd love to see how those dimwits explain a shooting like happened in this Oklahoma high school.

(*I'm compromising-- I know it's not Comiskey any more but this naming rights stuff irritates me to begin with and "Guaranteed Rate Field" just sounds stupid.)

[ProfessorGAC]

26. All The Sox Fans I Know...

...just call it "Sox Park".
The naming rights don't matter much to the fans. I think the vast majority just ignore it.
People still call the Lakers' place "Staples". They quit paying the naming rights fee & their name stuck for some.

11. That ref did not move.

13. Isn't everyone in Oklahoma armed?

[former9thward]

20. Not on school grounds.

It is a crime to possess a weapon on school grounds.

23. Relax. This is just part of the "Try That In A Small Town Internet Challenge".

A 16-year-old boy from Midwest City, dead.
