The Philadelphia Eagles offered to host the remaining 17 minutes of a high school football game after it was interrupted last week by a shooting that left three wounded, a New Jersey athletic association announced on Monday.

The shooting, which was captured on video by local news media, occurred on Friday during the third quarter of a playoff game hosted by Pleasantville High School — just outside of Atlantic City, N.J. — against Camden High School.

Five men were charged on Saturday in connection with the shooting, according to the authorities.
