A Lehigh Senior High School student was shot at while driving home from the Beast of the East football game.
Lee County deputies responded to a home on 12th Street West near Gunnery Road late Friday when heard shots fired at the football game. LCSO also sent extra officers to the football game that was letting out at Lehigh Senior.
The teen’s mother was still too shaken to talk to us, she said her son was driving down 12th Street West near Floyd Avenue when he heard the pop of gunshots and heard the bullet hit the car’s bumper.
Deputies told the victim’s mother they were unable to find any bullet shell casings and have not made any arrests.
The mother of the victim said she does plan to press charges if someone was caught, but for now, they’re nervous for their safety and just want to try and move on with their lives.
