Man, juvenile shot at New Jersey high school football game Authorities in New Jersey say there has been a shooting at a high school football game

PLEASANTVILLE, N.J. -- Players and spectators ran for cover Friday night when a gunman opened fire at a New Jersey high school football game, injuring two people.

A man and a child were seriously injured after a gunman shot into a crowd of people who sat in the bleachers at Pleasantville High School, said Pleasantville Police Chief Sean Riggins.

The shooting happened about 8:30 p.m. during a playoff game between the Camden Panthers and the Pleasantville Greyhounds, Riggins said.

Riggins did not identify the man and the juvenile who were shot, but said they are working with their families to make sure they receive the medical attention. Their conditions were unknown. Riggins said they are both still alive.

Earlier reports from local media said an unidentified woman was carried out the stands on a stretcher and onto the field by paramedics while they waited for another ambulance to arrive.

“We are receiving information regarding exactly what happened and who is involved however obviously this is an ongoing investigation and at this time we are not prepared to release any information on that,” he said during a short news conference following the shooting.

Pleasantville is about seven miles (11 kilometers) southeast of Atlantic City.

Witnesses at the scene said they saw people running, jumping fences and hitting the ground. Ernest Holland, 17, a Pleasantville football player, is speaking in a Twitter clip, saying: "I heard the gunshots. We started all running for this fence and tried to run inside the gym."
