2 People Shot After Argument During Youth Flag Football Game in Virginia

An argument at a flag football event in Manassas, Virginia, on Sunday morning led to a shooting that injured two men, per Lindsay Watts of Fox 5 DC.

Dean Ladson, a parent of an 11-year-old player and an organizer of 703 United Youth Football, said there were a few hundred children and spectators at the Benton Middle School fields at the time of the shooting. Multiple flag football games were scheduled at the time.

Ladson said that he saw an argument take place on the sideline during the game and that he tried to de-escalate the situation.
