My partner and I were scheduled to do the first day of Fall Ball Season starting with 2 Senior SB games  yesterday a.m. A txt was sent out Fri night saying the fields and complex were closed until further notice due to police activity. I didn't think much of it at the time. The fields are directly across from a Middle School so it could have been kid's stuff e.g. property destruction, fights, drugs etc. 

Early Sat a.m. I get a txt that ALL games and activities are cancelled due to an ongoing police investigation. Here's the story:

Very Sad :-(

Ugh, that's horrible.  Concur, I hope it brings closure and even maybe some justice.

Folks may remember the shooting at the Republican team practice for the Congressional baseball game.  That was at a 90' field right next to the 60' field that the local Little League uses.  My league was on tap to provide the umpires for the first game back after they allowed activities to resume.   It was a weird feeling to head out there.  (Compounded by the fact that we didn't really know for a few days if we were going to be there or relocated.)
