Man dead, child injured at Prince George’s football game shooting

Both were transported to the hospital where the man was pronounced dead. The 5-year-old is receiving treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.

Aziz said that the two people in the altercation knew each other and the dispute was over something that had happened outside the game. “And [they] brought it to a game where young people, 7-year-olds, were playing a football game, out enjoying this beautiful day with their families,” Aziz said.

He said the homicide unit is investigating the shooting.

“The work we have to do in this moment is not just reactive,” County Executive Angela D. Alsobrooks (D) said at the news conference. “We really have to continue as a community, and we have to do so in partnership with neighboring jurisdictions, to make sure we are doing everything in our power to remove guns from our communities.”
