According to police, two groups of people were involved in a dispute at the game, and one group was escorted out. The group later returned, and shots were fired.
A 19-year-old girl was struck in the leg, and a 20-year-old was struck in the shoulder. They were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Investigators said they are looking for two men they believe are responsible for the shooting and ran from the scene. They are described to be in their late teens to early 20s.
The shooting stems from an ongoing dispute between the two groups, JSO says. There is no additional danger to the community or to the two schools participating in the football game.
