A youth football player shot and wounded two fellow athletes when an altercation during a Florida Pop Warner practice escalated to gunfire Monday night, police said.

During the fight, a youngster fetched a gun from a car and fired off one shot that hit two players around 8:20 p.m. at a sports complex 20 miles from Orlando, Apopka Police Chief Mike McKinley said during a press conference.

The alleged shooter was detained as authorities investigated. The gun was also recovered by police.

One player was hit in the arm and the other youngster was shot in the upper torso by the same bullet, McKinley said, stressing the information he had was only preliminary. Both were in stable condition.

The ages of the victims and alleged shooter were not known.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The gun is not the problem.  The mental condition of the kid is the problem.  The gun shot no one until the kid decided to grab it and use it to "argue" with.

Of course there is no description of the shooter, but I'm going to make a guess that he was a member of the group that takes this kind of action after being 'disrespected'.
