Woman recalls shooting outside stadium at Southeast Raleigh High jamboree game
RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- A Southeast Raleigh High School alumna is speaking out after a shooting outside of the school and says the incident couldn't cast a bad light on the school.
The incident happened on Friday night.
Stacey Dove Brodie was volunteering at the jamboree game and was sitting in the stadium at the time.
She said, "We're watching the game and Southeast just scored a touchdown. And then all of a sudden you hear kids yelling and they're running from one side and they're running down onto the field."
Raleigh Police says there was a shooting in the parking lot area outside of the stadium.
ABC11 News reached out to the Wake County School District about the incident and if extra security measures would be put in place for future games. We are waiting for a response.
Friday's game was cut short because of the incident.
"It makes it bad for everybody else. You've got boys that have worked all summer. They've worked all year preparing for these moments," said Brodie. "It just negates all the hard work that goes into every day ."
She penned a message on social media and it's been shared hundreds of times.
"You've always got people that just kind of come in with a different intention, but there was never a time that I felt he wasn't safe, never," said Brodie. "It's like a couple bad apples can spoil a bunch and again, in this scenario, they were not apples that came from Southeast."
Brodie says there is a lack of parent supervision at events like this, where students from several schools came together.
"I think we have to be aware of where your kids are, where they're going, where who they're with, how they got there. Middle school students shouldn't be dropped off at high school games and just left," said Brodie.
