2 cut, 1 shot over soccer
Two men were cut and one man was shot in the neck when a pickup soccer game behind a Huntsville elementary school got out of hand Monday afternoon, authorities said.
The injuries to the three men did not appear to be life-threatening, said Danny Loggins, district chief with Huntsville Fire & Rescue.
Police are looking for three suspects, police spokesman Wendell Johnson said.
They are Hilario Xancopinca, 41, who police believe shot one of the men; Galbino Xancopinca, 32, for stabbing one of the victims; and a third man, whom police have not positively identified, for stabbing the third man, Johnson said.
Police had a difficult time questioning the victims and witnesses because of language barriers, Johnson said. All three victims and their assailants are illegal immigrants, he said.
Two groups of men who apparently play soccer occasionally were in a game about 5:30 p.m. Monday when a fight broke out, Johnson said. They were on the playground behind University Place Elementary School.
The man who was shot in the neck was found by emergency workers on the edge of the playground and ball fields near the back of the school.
The two men who were cut ran across the fields toward the University of Alabama in Huntsville campus. One man got over a fence and was found behind Roberts Hall on the UAH campus. The other man came back across the field to the back of the elementary school.
All three men, whose names were not immediately available, were transported to Huntsville Hospital by HEMSI.
