A Woodward student-athlete was injured Friday night in a shooting during the school’s football game at North College Hill, Cincinnati Public Schools said.
The football game between North College Hill and Woodward came to a halt with a few minutes left in the first half after shots were fired near the stadium, North College Hill’s coach confirmed to WCPO.
A WCPO crew that responded to the scene found police cruisers and crime scene tape cutting off the area near North College Hill Elementary School, which is right next to the stadium.
CPS later confirmed a Woodward student-athlete was injured in the shooting. The district did not say whether the student was a football player or participated in another sport.
“Cincinnati Public Schools recognizes this tragic event and our support remains with the student, their family, friends and school community,” CPS said in its statement. “CPS’ Crisis Response Team will be on-site to provide support to students as they return to school Tuesday.”
