Man in critical condition after shooting in a AT&T Stadium parking lot, suspect in custody

Source: dallasnews.com

A man was critically injured after a fight broke out in an AT&T Stadium parking lot on Sunday night, police said.

Two Arlington police officers were alerted to a fight in Lot 10, near East Randol Mill Road and North Collins Street, about 8:20 p.m., police spokesman Christopher Cook said.

As they arrived, they found a man in his early 40s with a gunshot wound, he said. The man was transported critical, life-threatening injuries to Medical Center Arlington but has since been flown to another hospital because of the seriousness of his condition, Cook said.

The suspect in the shooting was transported to another area hospital with a leg injury that police believe was from attempting to flee the scene.

"Per eye witness, suspect was egged on by a crowd of people to kill the victim."

NFL fans are now largely drunk and aggressive at games. I stay the hell away.

I know about groupthink, peer pressure and all of that but it still baffles me when it comes to such senseless violence.
