After receiving reports of a drive-by gunshot outside Horlick Athletic Field in Racine, Wisconsin, authorities have begun their investigation.

On Friday evening, September 9, a girl who was 16 years old was shot and injured as a local high school football game at Horlick Field was coming to an end.
