10 teens shot at high school football game in Alabama

Two individuals were detained after at least 10 people were shot following a high school football game in Alabama, according to Mobile Police Chief Lawrence Battiste. 

The wounded ranged in age from 15 to 18. They were rushed to area hospitals. No one died

Battiste didn't confirm to reporters the shooting stemmed from an altercation, but he did admonish young people for "bringing their beefs that they have with each other in their neighborhoods" into public settings and "putting people in harm's way."

The incident "may have been a directed threat at one or two individuals and other people just happened to fall prey to their carelessness," Battiste added. 

One person had a seizure and another suffered an injured hand, but it's unclear if those individuals were among the 10 who got shot.
