Police in Prince George’s County, Maryland, say they are actively investigating a shooting Saturday afternoon at a youth football game at Potomac High School in Oxon Hill.

At approximately 11:20 a.m., officers responded to the school for a shooting and found a man in the bleachers suffering from a gunshot wound. Police said the man was pronounced dead after being transported to the hospital.

Police said a second victim, a child, was also found with a gunshot wound, and was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The suspect fled after the shooting, police said. They ask anyone with information about the suspect or possible motives to contact 1-866-411-TIPS.
