·2 min read·Source: STLtoday.com·Madison, IL

A man was killed and three other people were hurt in a shooting and brawl at a youth football game in Madison, Illinois, on Sunday night, authorities told STLtoday.com.

What we know, per the report:

  • One man was slain.
  • Three other people were injured.
  • The violence involved both a shooting and a brawl.
  • It happened Sunday night at a youth football game in Madison, Illinois.
  • The information came from authorities, as reported by STLtoday.com.

Madison sits in the Metro East region, across the Mississippi River from St. Louis. The game was a youth football event, the kind with kids in oversized pads, parents with camp chairs, and a concession stand somewhere nearby. A Sunday night game like that is supposed to end with a long drive home and maybe a stop for food.

The source report is brief, and this story is developing. It does not include the names of the man who died or the injured, the teams playing, or what set off the fight. We're not going to guess at any of it. If authorities release more, we'll update.

For now, the confirmed facts are the ones above: a youth football game, a fatal shooting, and three more people hurt.
