Central District detectives responded to the scene and took control of the investigation, according to police.
According to Baltimore ABC affiliate WMAR, this was Dunbar High School's first game of the season. The school's head football coach told the station that a lot of parents worry that it's unsafe for kids to play at a field in this location.
"We were in the middle of the game, great atmosphere, first night of the season and we heard gunshots and everyone started running and the players got down on the field and everybody started running on the field,” Lawrence Smith, Dunbar High School’s head football coach, told WMAR.
