DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – The crowd at a football game in south Dallas was sent running Sunday night after shots started to ring out. Police said that at least five people were struck by gunfire, including a pregnant teen. The incident happened at about 9:30 p.m. at a park along Spring Avenue, behind the Juanita Craft Recreation Center in the Fair Park area.

According to police, a group of young adults had been meeting at the park for the past two weekends for a football game.

A witness shared video of the shooting on Facebook, recorded while he was running for cover. Dozens of gunshots can be heard along with people screaming. Earlier in the video, an argument can be heard between some people standing near the football field.

Police said that a man then drove a moped into the middle of the football field and opened fire. Witnesses told officials that multiple people then starting firing at the shooter. In all, at least five people were said to be hit by gunshots — three women and two men.

A pregnant teenager was among those rushed to a nearby hospital with a gunshot wound to her chest. After an emergency procedure, doctors said that the baby is okay. The 17-year-old woman, however, remains in critical condition following the shooting. She is said to be a senior at Skyline High School who was seven months into her pregnancy.

Fortunately the baby is fine and it sounds like the mother will be. I don't know why one idiot cannot allow people to have fun in a public park without feeling the need to shoot up the place. It's just sad.

South Dallas = Shooter was probably a gang member and upset the sale territory was being compromised, or the shots were fired at rival gang members

Any other explanation is CYA

For 10 points, guess the race of Juanita Craft solely from the facts given in the excerpt. Remember to phrase your answer in the form of a question.

No, no, no. This one gives us a brand-new euphemism:

“A group of young adults.”

I’m sure Jerry Jones is scouting some of the players as we speak.

Did the multiple people firing at the shooter get him?
Were all the people injured, injured by the shooter, or did some of them get caught in the crossfire?
