“The cause of the altercation that led to the shooting is still under investigation,” police spokesman Doug Schepman said at night. “
The area was cordoned off and evidence markers were at the scene.
There was a small crowd in the area at the time of the shooting, but “it had diminished a lot by then,” he said. He said the shooting happened in an area where many people may have emerged from the bar after the game.
Police are questioning witnesses and Shepman described the ongoing investigation as “extensive”. (Associated Press)
