Man shot in parking lot after Cowboys-Patriots game
A fight left a man with a gunshot wound to the head in the AT&T Stadium parking lot after Cowboys-Patriots
The Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots played football at AT&T Stadium on Sunday in Week 5 action with the Pats dominating the home team. However, the football game seems inconsequential given what happened in the parking lot of the stadium after the contest when a fight left a man with a gunshot wound to the head.
After the final whistle, a fight reportedly broke out in the parking lot of AT&T Stadium. Though details around the events are still coming out, the result was a man in his early 40s being shot in the head:

There’s still no word on how the altercation began or how the situation escalated to the point of gun violence. That seems unimportant, though, as any type of violence—particularly of such a serious nature—is completely despicable at a setting such as this.
Thoughts and prayers certainly go out to the victim as he recovers from the incident.
