ARLINGTON -- A shooting victim was taken to the hospital and a suspect was in custody Sunday evening after a fight in the AT&T Stadium parking lot, Arlington police said.

Officers responded at about 8:30 p.m. to a report of a fight in Lot 10 at the stadium, said Arlington police spokesman Lt. Chris Cook. He said officers heard one gunshot, and that a male victim in his early 40s was flown to an area hospital with serious injuries.

“I didn’t think he was going to pull the trigger,” said witness Lester Peters of Lufkin.

The suspect, who was injured when he tripped over a retaining wall, also was taken to a hospital.

1. Effin nuts...

Wonder if this was bout the game or something unrelated...either way, shows the stupidity of such easy access to guns.

2. It could also be related to the Rangers game.

The baseball stadium is relatively close to Jerryworld and traffic in Arlington was supposed to be a nightmare with the baseball game starting within an hour of the end of the football game. However, if a Patriot fan started to tell a tailgating Texan how to make barbecue then I could understand why there was a ruckus.

3. Reminds me of Joe Bob Briggs...

He always went off about how non-texans didn't know what bar-b-que really was!
