Harrowing video footage shows 7- and 8-year-old baseball players cowering for cover as gunshots rang out at a Little League state championship game in North Carolina.
The footage showed under-8 players as well as the adults officiating initially frozen in fear as at least three shots rang out Sunday — with one landing just feet from a player, WITN said.
Most of the players then dropped to the ground while a handful fled the field in Wilson as a chorus of adults screamed, “Get down!”
The clip ended with the youngsters on the ground trying to crawl to safety.
“No child or parent should ever experience anything like this,” insisted the South Durham Little League, whose 8U Orange All Star team was one of the teams playing at the time.

Someone invoked the Designated Sniper Rule.
“Another addition to your long list of stupid comments! Congrats!”
Uh, stupid? Given our media, congresscritters, BLM, and the rest of the undereducated POS idiots out there?
“Cowering for cover”?
“The core of Durham is a s#!+hole. Dominated by the ultra-woke Duke University, progressive left politics, white-flight out to the suburbs and county. Welcome to the new North Carolina. If the next election is canceled, we’re outta here.”
A city’s coefficient of civilization is inversely proportional to the “wokeness” of the local college.
Search indicates shootings at little league games are not uncommon.
Liberals —> “Just some botched late-term abortions. Why is that a problem?”
It’s a good comment. Leftists will stop at nothing. SCOTUS judge assassination. Shooting Republican congressmen at the annual Congressional baseball game.
Things changing there?
No one injured, thank G-d.
But was this really a “false flag” event, staged to garner support for “gun control”??? Just wondering.
I will volunteer my services for citizenship soon I’m sure.
Great reaction kids.
Parents are raising those youngin’s right.
“But was this really a “false flag” event, staged to garner support for “gun control”???”
Nope.
Those events have a high kill rate.
:-(
The gunman — who shot out the windows of a minivan in the parking lot — was not immediately arrested, police said. However, there was no evidence that anyone at the game had been targeted, the force told WITN.

This is a beautiful example of poor reporting. It’s totally ambiguous. What does it mean the gunman was “not immediately arrested” or “no evidence the age had been targeted’? Is the gunman known? Was he arrested later? Did the police talk to him and let him go. How do they know his motivation?
“What’s it like to live in Raleigh & Durham, NC?
Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill are known for their research/technology roots and collegiate rivalries. This tri-city region (known as the Triangle) is luring new residents every day with strong job growth and high quality of life.
Many people who call the Raleigh and Durham metro areas home are young, friendly, diverse and educated. They enjoy dining out in local restaurants – many of which have earned national accolades – and gathering over craft beers in one of the region’s many microbreweries. A strong sense of community is evident, as strangers are quick to provide a friendly conversation when standing in line at the supermarket.

I’d bet a dollar to a donut the shooter had been sniffed by Biden at one time.
Don’t hit the ground, exit the impact area posthaste.
The cause of this has more to do with demographics than gun laws.
