At least one person has been confirmed dead while other spectators and players scampered for safety a gunman opened fire  outside a Florida high school football game.

Orlando’s Jones High School was finishing a Saturday night playoff victory over Wekiva High when a gunman fired several shots in the parking lot during an altercation between two groups, said Eric Smith, the city’s police chief.

The Orlando Sentinel reported that after the shots, players and spectators fled to the opposite side of the stadium. Officers ran to the parking lot and found one adult dead and another wounded, Smith said.

Four juveniles were arrested, including one carrying a gun, he said.

No charges were immediately filed and no names have been released. (ABC News)
