A witness at the scene told reporters that a football game had just ended, when people leaving heard what sounded like gunshots.

President of Mount Carmel High School Brendan Conroy issued a statement Saturday afternoon. 

"Mount Carmel is committed to the City of Chicago, and after last night's tragic event after our football game with Morgan Park High School it is more clear than ever that the faith- and values-based experience that we offer young men is vital to our great city.  Today we pray for the full recovery of the two young visitors to our campus who were injured last night, and tomorrow we continue our efforts to make Chicago a better place to live and grow up as a young man. 

Our sadness and anger cannot and will not overcome the hope we feel as we work in our mission to educate young men in mind, body and spirit. It is with hope that we eagerly take on the task of examining our safety protocols in order to protect the young people we serve and all parents, alumni and guests of our Mount Carmel community whenever it gathers together.

We will not solve Chicago's safety crisis on our own, but Mount Carmel will be a part of the solution."
