Woman shot, child grazed by bullet in pee wee football dispute, Fort Worth police say

FORT WORTH, Texas_A woman was shot and a girl was grazed by a bullet Saturday outside an east Fort Worth elementary school, authorities said.

The woman was taken in good condition to John Peter Smith Hospital, a MedStar spokesman said. She was shot in the leg, police said. The child's injury was not life-threatening, police said.

The shooting was reported at about 3 p.m. at Eastern Hills Elementary.

The incident started as a parent dispute at a pee wee football game, police said.

"It is believed the son of one of the parents arrived at the location armed with a handgun and began discharging the firearm," Officer Jimmy Pollozani said.

The assailant was not in custody, Pollozani said.
