A dispute in the parking lot of the stadium following a game between the New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys devolved into a brawl involving several people, according to eyewitnesses. One man said that the shooter pointed a gun at the head of more than one person involved in the fight before eventually pulling the trigger.
The victim of the shooting had life-threatening injuries and was taken to the hospital in serious condition. He later died from his injuries, according to the Associated Press.
The suspect, who was also taken to a hospital after he tripped over a retaining wall, was reportedly pressured by bystanders to kill the victim.
Per eye witness, suspect was egged on by a crowd of people to kill the victim. #shooting #attstadium

The suspect is now in jail and has been charged with murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Fights aren't rare at NFL stadiums, although few end with gunfire. Just last month, video showed an altercation between a Minnesota Vikings fan and multiple San Francisco 49ers fans just outside of Levi's Stadium.
