September 7, 2018 - The Des Moines Hoover Huskies was up 21-18 over the Des Moines North Polar Bears at Cara McGrane Stadium with roughly two minutes remaining in the game. The game ended early due to a shooting that took place at Hoover High School's West parking. They directed everyone out of the stadium and directed people to be on their way. No one was reported hurt and shell casings was found south of the stadium. At this time there is no word on if this had anything at all to do with the game. This was Herbert Hoover High Schools homecoming game.
Here is an excerpt from the Des Moines Register:
No one was reported injured after multiple gunshots put an early end to Friday night's homecoming football game between Des Moines North and Hoover.
According to Des Moines Police Sgt. Rodrigo Santizo, an unknown number of shots were fired in a nearby parking lot with roughly 2 minutes remaining in the game at Hoover's McGrane Stadium.
The stadium was cleared and there are no known injuries, Santizo said. Shell casings were recovered about a block from the stadium in a parking lot at 50th Street and Madison Avenue.
Santizo said investigators are developing a suspect list and interviewing witnesses, but it's not clear what precipitated the gunshots.
No arrests had been made in connection with the incident as of 11 p.m. Friday.
Police chased and stopped a vehicle near 24th Street and Franklin Avenue shortly after the shots were fired, but the incident was unrelated, Santizo said.
"It was just a bad coincidence for that car," he said.
The host Huskies were leading the game 21-18 when play was stopped in the fourth quarter.
