PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Gunfire sent field hockey players running for safety during a game at Temple University’s Howarth Field on Friday.
Video captured by ESPN showed the crowd sprinting off the field in North Philadelphia.
“Players are running off the field right now. There were some loud noises and it looks like players are evacuating the field right now,” the announcer could be heard saying.
Just after 4:30 p.m. Friday, Temple sent out an alert saying there was gunfire near the 1300 block of North Broad Street, which is right near the field.
La Salle was playing St. Louis University, which issued a statement saying the game was canceled because of a shooting in the vicinity of the field.
No one on the field was injured.
“At this time, no shooter has been identified, and there are believed to be no victims. The shots were fired in the vicinity of an off-campus fast-food restaurant on Broad Street. The Philadelphia Police Department is leading this investigation,” Jennifer Griffin, the vice president and chief for public safety at Temple said in a statement.
You don’t need to be faster than the “predator”; you just need to be faster than its closest target.
…in a post-Catholic world.
Not to beat dead news, but as Dan Bongino says, the media never stop with their propaganda, so we should keep discussing Trump shooting. You know, growing up in the 50s, maybe we were programmed with too many westerns on TV, but if it had been me and friends in the bleachers behind Trump, all would have been screaming THERES A GUY ON THAT ROOF, HE HAS A GUN!!!over and over at police until they did something.. Today we watch and take videos it seems.
So, is the North Philadelphia crime culture about the same as West Philadelphia? I wonder if Temple needs to relocate its home games to Belair.
Pretty much.
