Little League Shooting Cancels Games, The shooting occurred at a tee-ball game played by 5- and 6-year-olds in North Vallejo.
When the gunfire started, all the children were told to get down on the ground.
Some of the kids curled up underneath the benches, said Felisa Luna, a Little League coach.
Luna described hearing dozens of shots that sent people running in panic from this baseball field.
Two men were seen arguing in the parking lot and after one drove away and the other opened fire.
“He riddled the victim’s vehicle with bullets,” said Vallejo police Lt. Lee Horton. “The victim was able to get out of the area without being hit.
Little League president Greg Reason said one of the people involved may have been a parent.
Reason he said doesn’t know the shooter, and in light of what’s happened, he suspended play.
The board is calling all families together for an emergency meeting to discuss safety in a neighborhood known for violence.
“One option would be we go across town, and play,” Reason said. “We will find a way for these kids to play ball and enjoy their childhood.”
Bullets flew not only next to the ballpark, but by the nearby Boys and Girls Club where kids gather for after school activities.
