Arlington, TX police are reporting that a man in his early 40s was shot in the head after a skirmish in the parking lot of the Cowboys' AT&T stadium, according to Complex Sports and The Dallas Morning News. The man is currently in critical condition.

Police received reports of a fight, only to roll up and hear a single gunshot, they discovered a man with life-threatening injuries on the ground, who was transported to a nearby hospital shortly after. According to police reports, the alleged shooter injured himself while fleeing the scene. The suspect, a male, will be charged with aggravated assault and placed in jail after receiving hospital treatment himself.

Police are still investigating what caused the incident, but according to Fort Worth Star-Telegram beat reporter Clarence Hill, eyewitnesses accounts described a truly distressing scene, in which bystanders were encouraging the suspect to shoot the victim in the head.

Per eye witness, suspect was egged on by a crowd of people to kill the victim. #shooting #attstadium

Unsurprisingly, police told the Morning News that both parties "might have been tailgating for awhile."
