ARLINGTON — The vehicles near a shooting in the parking lot of AT&T Stadium were not among those subject to a security search before the game Sunday, a Dallas Cowboys spokesman said Monday.
The shooting, which left one man with life-threatening injuries, occurred at the edge of Lot 10, near Collins Street and Randol Mill Road, after the Cowboys' loss to the New England Patriots. Cowboys spokesman Joe Trahan said only vehicles within 100 feet of the stadium are subject to a search upon arrival, a standard NFL practice.
The rest of the stadium's parking lots are patrolled by security units throughout the game.
Sunday's game ended around 6:30 p.m. Fans are allowed to tailgate in AT&T Stadium lots for up to two hours after the game, under stadium policy.
The fight that led to the shooting in Lot 10 was reported to police about 8:20 p.m., said Arlington police spokesman Lt. Chris Cook. He said officers heard one gunshot and a male victim in his early 40s was flown to an area hospital with serious injuries.
