A First Division Mexican soccer match was suspended Saturday after gunmen opened fire on police outside the stadium in the northern city of Torreon, causing players and referees to run for cover.

Local clubs Santos and Morelia were tied 0-0 at the 40-minute mark when the shots were heard inside the stadium.

Televised footage showed the players and referees dashing off the field to take cover inside the stadium. Santos' Argentine forward Emanuel Luduena ran with his child in his arms.

Fans, many with children, ducked for cover and hundreds ran onto the field to move away from the sound of the gunfire outside TSM stadium.

Torreon police and local soccer officials said the attack left one police officer injured, but no one was hurt inside the stadium.
