BALTIMORE -- Baltimore City Public Schools halted a football game on Friday after a 12-year-old boy was shot near Dunbar High Football Field, according to authorities.
The boy had been amid a crowd of people in the 1100 block of Madison Street when gunfire erupted on Friday evening, Acting Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley said.
Worley initially said the gunshot victim was an 11-year-old boy. Police later said he was 12 years old. The boy was taken to a local hospital where he is in stable condition, police said.
"As far as we know, there was only one shooter. We're not sure," Worley told reporters at a press conference following the shooting.
Mayor Brandon Scott said the shooting had nothing to do with the football game.
