Palm Beach Sheriff's Office deputies evacuated a high school football field on Friday night after a shooting that left two wounded interrupted a preseason game in Wellington.

The shooting at Palm Beach Central High School was during the fourth quarter of a practice game between students from Palm Beach Central and William T. Dwyer High School from Palm Beach Gardens.

Deputies responded to the school at 8499 Forest Hill Blvd and minutes later a spokesperson for the department tweeted deputies determined it was not an active-shooter incident. Fire rescue personnel airlifted one victim from the field and a witness drove the other victim to the hospital.


Some Twitter videos in the link of people evacuating and a helicopter landing on the field.

I was just looking at this. Man, if this is some dispute between two people or two different groups.. Or whatever, they need to leave that shite on the street so the only people put in harms way or people who are involved, in which case no one should GAF if someone is shot and killed.

When I was in HS, my HS and another HS were rivals and both schools had a really good basketball team and it was the last game of the year, the winner won district.. They brought a decide size crowd and towards the end of the game things started getting chippy on the court and in the crowd.

Game ends, people are leaving out of the gym and there were a few confrontations, nothing serious. Police were there and was keeping the crowd moving.. As me, my brother and someone else who was with us are about to get to the door to get out.. All of a sudden we hear BANG BANG BANG... BANG BANG... People turned around and started storming back in the gym. They locked up the gym and made everyone who was still in there wait for about 30 mins.

Some people got into it and one of them pulled a gun and just shot it to scare people... but the jackass hit a few cars.

When you are somewhere where there are a lot of people and then you hear gun shots, that shite sucks.. We were about to exit the building and wasn't outside yet and it still gives you that feeling like something just dropped in your stomach. A horrible gut feeling just because you don't know what's going on and you don't know if people are shooting at each other and if so, if they are going to run towards the crowds of people and continue shooting at each other.. And since it's likely not any trained sharpshooters having a shootout, they are more likely to hit something else other than their target.

Wow- used to work down there- Forest Hill Blvd. in Wellington is NIIIICE. Actually all of Wellington is very upmarket. The world polo HOF is less than 3 miles away.

I clicked on the the thread expecting the story to be out of Belle Glade or Pahokee

For those inquisitive, I checked out the demographics of this particular high school. It's around 35% white, 35% black, 25% Hispanic, 5% other.

It was Dwyer HS at Palm Beach Central High football game. They are showing local news from Okeeheelee park (where Bruce Koepka used to play golf as a kid).

Sounds like some "groups" shot at each other according to News channel 12. When they say "groups" I'm pretty sure that's media code for "Gangs" 2 people shot

This high school is surrounded by nice gated communities. Not all Hispanics and blacks in this part of palm beach are poor.

Why were you not the first people out of the gym? Not like you were up in the bleachers.
