It happened near Franjo Park, where a youth baseball game was taking place. In the footage, children and coaches scream as at least 10 shots are fired in quick succession.

But two men were found shot at the scene of the gunfire. Their injuries were not life-threatening, and they were taken to Jackson Medical Center in stable condition, authorities said.
