Investigators have reviewed surveillance video, which clearly shows the 17-year-old suspect firing the shots, according to Battiste. Police believe Parnell was the only shooter, but the police chief said investigators believe there are adults who knew something would be happening at the game. Battiste urged adults to come forward with information in such situations.
Mobile police will review stadium security early this week at Ladd Peebles Stadium and other stadiums where high school football games are played.
