TEXARKANA, Texas (KSLA/Gray News) – A Texas A&M University-Texarkana baseball player was seriously injured when he was struck by a stray bullet during a game Saturday.
Texarkana police said the gunfire happened in front of a house about 400 yards from George Dobson Field at Spring Lake Park where the baseball game was being held.
A spokesperson with the university identified the player shot as 18-year-old Matthew Delany, who is from the Dallas area. Texas A&M University-Texarkana confirmed in a Facebook post that one of their baseball players was shot.
Police said Delany was in the pitcher’s bull pen when he was shot

My opinion he was targeted, especially when he was in the bullpen.

“Delany was in the pitcher’s bull pen when he was shot”
He should have stayed in the batter’s bull-pen where it was a lot safer.

Shame. I drove through Texarkana a couple of months ago and, while I didn’t stay, I was impressed with what I saw. It was a growing city and looked like a nice place to live.

Can a bullet (corrected spelling) travel 400 yards..”
Answer, yes. A .22 long rifle can still kill at a mile.
If you had signed your soul over to the Marines, you would have learned the art of hitting men at 500m plus.

My opinion he was targeted, especially when he was in the bullpen. Posting an article without actually reading it proves you're just as stupid as we think.
Detectives said their investigation revealed the shooting started as a disturbance at the nearby home that led to two men shooting at each other in front of the house.
“You got two people in a neighborhood that are acting stupid, shooting at each other, and the person that paid the price for it is a young man over here trying to play a ball game for the university,” Vaughn said.

Just goes to show what you know about baseball. I’ll go with bankwalker’s “cow pen.”
