S. Pasadena Probes School Shooting
Police searched Saturday for suspects and a motive in a shooting that left a 16-year-old girl and a 48-year-old man wounded on a South Pasadena High School football field where they were attending a post-game celebration.
The girl, with a bullet wound in the calf, was treated at Huntington Memorial Hospital and released. The man, father of a South Pasadena High student, underwent surgery at Huntington for an abdominal wound and was listed in fair condition.
Neither victim’s name was released. Shots rang out about 8:30 p.m. Friday as 150 people gathered on the field after a “powder puff” football game pitting junior and senior girls, police said.
The shooting appeared to be random, with someone firing into the crowd from the direction of another football field to the south, said South Pasadena police Sgt. Mark Miller.
“The field was intensely lit by stadium lighting, so everything beyond that was intensely dark,” Miller said.
