This is just more evidence of the failed policies of the Democrat party’s soft-on-crime mentality. When children can’t be safe in their own communities, that is a tragedy.
Gateway previously reported on a shooting at an Oklahoma high school football game.
A shooting at an Oklahoma High school football game last Friday left 1 person dead, and at least 3 others wounded.
Students scattered across the football field at Choctaw High School after shots fired during the third quarter of the game.
A 16-year-old male died. Police said the victim was not a student at Choctaw High School.
