Police are investigating a double shooting Friday at a football field in North Philadelphia near Temple University's campus.
Video obtained by Action News showed an argument in the stands above the practice field.
The video showed two men among a group of adults begin to walk away, then one turned and pointed a gun, shooting two male victims. "Looks like there's six individuals in the stands, an argument ensued, one of the two males gets in an argument, and you see him pull out a gun. He starts firing at the male he was arguing with and hits one of the other males who was just sitting in the stands," said Captain John Walker, who heads the non-fatal shooting unit for the Philadelphia Police Department.
The stands on the football field are owned and operated by St. Joesph's Preparatory School on Temple University's campus.The St. Joe's Prep lacrosse team was wrapping up practice for the day, and a youth football team was on the practice field."People were just trying to hop the fence and get out, and cops were here within two minutes," said Malone, a sophomore.
