The shooting erupted before the game's scheduled 1 p.m. start, but Lendvay reported no link to the game, which went on and concluded without incident.

Local media reports cited authorities as saying the shooting had had no impact on game day activities though some fans headed to the game reported hearing the gunfire. He added that authorities made plans to escort fans to any cars parked near the scene, allowing them to leave unimpeded once the game ended.Lendvay told reporters that a shooter fired from the passenger side of a gray, four-door sedan driven by someone else, but details were sketchy and investigators didn't immediately determine a motive. “We had just parked our cars,” Vanessa Holmes told the new outlet, adding she and some family members were walking when it happened. As for Watson’s performance on the gridiron, the 23-year-old played the first game of his 2018 NFL season in which he didn’t throw an interception. Said Lendvay: “We just don’t know.”

He also said he had no immediate update on the conditions of the wounded or their identities later Sunday.
