Las Crucens Want More Security At School District Games

In light of Friday's shooting at a crowded Las Cruces high school football game, many residents say they want more security at area games.

Las Cruces Police said the shooting, which occured at the Field of Dreams, and injured a 14-year-old teen appears to be gang related. Security with Las Cruces Public School District say the incident was not a random act, instead a isolated incident.

A spokesperson also said the public was never in any danger. "Our games should be safe, they attract the right crowds. This is an unfortunate act of violence by a specific group or an individual or towards an individual. Those incidents are hard to control," said Todd Gregory, Security Coordinator.

Although Gregory said there were several security guards and police officers at Thursday's game, many residents said security needs to be increased to make the public feel safer.
