FARMINGTON — Farmington Police are still investigating Friday's shooting at Brookside Park as they prepare for an increased presence at Friday's football game in nearby Hutchison Stadium.

A 16-year-old male was shot in the back and a 14-year-old male was shot in the ankle during the incident, Allen said.
Daily Times archives indicate that seven shots were fired.
The gunshot victims were transported to San Juan Regional Medical Center. They were released from the hospital on Saturday.
A 14-year-old male with minor injuries to a foot was released from the scene Friday, Allen said.

The shooting occurred as a football game was being played at Hutchison Stadium between Piedra Vista High School and Highland High School of Albuquerque.
An announcement was made toward the end of the game directing spectators to remain in the stadium as law enforcement searched for the suspects. A post on the Farmington Municipal School District's Facebook page directed attendees of the football game to exit the stadium using the north exit.
