RIVERSIDE, Calif. (AP) ― One person is dead and another wounded after an argument during a pickup basketball game in Riverside escalated into gunfire.
Police have released few details on the incident, which happened Sunday afternoon on the outdoor courts at Central Middle School.
Neighborhood residents said they heard arguing followed by several gunshots, then saw people scattering from the area.
Eric Sheppard lives across the street from the school's playground. The 46-year-old said he often hears arguing coming from the basketball courts, but they usually resolve it. On Sunday, the trash-talking turned deadly.
Unngh!
It's everywhere!
