A shooting erupted after a high school football game in New Jersey on Friday night, leaving two minors injured.
The fire broke out around 7:45 p.m. in the parking lot of the Passaic County Technical Institute (PCTI), sources told CBS.
Two youths sustained gunshot wounds and were taken to a local hospital, the sources said.
A suspect was arrested.
The trio’s ages and the extent of the victims’ injuries were not immediately available.
The shooting broke out after a football game between PCTI and Lenape High School, a representative of the latter school told CBS.
“All students and staff at Lenape High School (LHS) are safe and unharmed. We were informed that shots were fired and two people required medical attention at the conclusion of a football game tonight in Wayne, NJ,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
– The suspect is in custody. No students or staff at LHS were involved in the disturbance. Our thoughts go out to the injured individuals and the Passaic Technical Institute Community.”
PCTI officials did not respond to messages from The Post.
Witnesses reported hearing up to half a dozen shots ring out during the frenzy.
The police have since blocked off the entrance to PCTI, photographs of the scene show.
The investigation is ongoing.
