Police seek suspects in gunfire that halted game

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) Police are looking for two suspects following a hail of gunfire that halted an annual Thanksgiving Day high school football game.

The Connecticut Post reports that no one was hit by the five shots fired from an area near the stadium. A bullet pierced a nearby car.

Police believe the shooting was gang-related. Plans are being made to finish the game.

About 1,200 people, including Mayor Bill Finch and his four sons, attended the game. The sounds of gunfire sent many fans fleeing toward Harding High School while both teams retreated to their locker rooms.

Extra police were summoned to the field and they helped evacuate the stadium.
