CINCINNATI — Cincinnati police responded to Walnut Hills High School Sunday evening following reports of shots fired during a peewee football game.
According to police on the scene, two adult men got into an argument after the children’s football game had ended around 7:20 p.m. Police said two men began to fight before one man pulled out a gun and started shooting.
Police said two adults were shot. One victim is in serious condition while the other suffered a non-life-threatening injury. No children were hurt in the shooting, police said.
The Cincinnati United Youth Football and Cheer League issued a statement Monday, saying the shooting did not reflect the values or practices of the league or its partner organizations.
“After thorough deliberation, we’ve taken the firm decision to revoke the membership of the organization at the heart of this unfortunate event,” reads the statement from CUYFCL. “We’re actively collaborating with community stakeholders to provide trauma-informed care for children and families who witnessed the on-field altercation. Further, we’re revising our policies to better prevent future incidents of such a nature.”
The league did not say which organization they believed was “at the heart” of the shooting. According to the league’s playoff schedule, the game that had ended right before the shooting happened was between the Evanston Bulldogs and the West End Elite Royals.
CPD has not yet released any information on a suspect, an arrest or any charges filed for the shooting.
