Report: Eagles to Host High School Game Interrupted by Shooting

A high school game in New Jersey between Camden and Pleasantville was interrupted Friday night following a shooting that suspended play and injured three.

The Philadelphia Eagles have reportedly stepped in and have offered to host the remainder of the game at Lincoln Financial Field Wednesday for the teams impacted by the shooting.

"It's extremely unfortunate that a senselessly violent act has impacted this game, and there will certainly be a wide range of emotions along both sidelines. However, thanks to the Eagles' generosity and community spirit, Pleasantville and Camden student-athletes and their families will have an opportunity to write their own ending to this game," said Larry White, executive director of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association.
