Children playing in a youth football game dove for cover Sunday night when police say a shooting erupted that sent stray gunfire into a Temple student's off-campus apartment.
Video of the shooting posted by anti-violence social media account No Gun Zone shows people running amid the sound of gunfire, with some members of the 9U North Philadelphia Panthers and Blackhawks lying down and shielding themselves on the football field.
Tragically, this is not the team's first encounter with gun violence. Reed said last August a barrage of gunfire erupted outside their field's gates as hundreds of kids were practicing and participating in other activities. Temple University Vice President of Public Safety Jennifer Griffin wrote in a letter to students that the football game was taking place "within the TU patrol zone." A bullet ripped through a student's off-campus apartment, but no injuries were reported.
